Microsoft Power BI

What is Power BI?

Microsoft Power BI is a business analytics application that allows you to analyze data and share information. It is one of the four solutions that make up Microsoft Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents), enabling you to analyze your business’s key performance indicators without needing extensive programming knowledge or relying on internal IT departments or external providers.

The self-service data analysis and business intelligence platform from Microsoft offers extensive possibilities, as you can link and cross-reference data from numerous information sources. For example, you can have figures from your web traffic with Google Analytics, accounting and finance with Microsoft Dynamics NAV (now Business Central), marketing campaigns with Microsoft Dynamics CRM or MailChimp, all in one place.

Microsoft Power BI quickly loads information, organizing it into dashboards and reports through which you can display views, charts, maps, and more, depending on how you want to work with your information. The combinations offered by the Power BI app (Business Intelligence) are countless. Additionally, your data will always be synchronized, providing you with up-to-date information at all times.
