One Platform for Business Analytics
Power BI pulls data from several sources, whether in the cloud or on-site server, and combines it on one powerful platform. If you don’t have the time or knowledge to make data source connections, you’ll want to contact a company that specializes in business intelligence.
By combining all your company’s data, you’ll be able to get a 360 degree view of your company. You are also able to customize dashboards so you see the business metrics that matter most. A better overview will help you to more effectively make decisions to move your business forward.

Access to the Latest Information
lets you access business metrics on your work computer. However, you can also take advantage of the Power BI app so you can access information on the go on any device. Since Power BI dashboards are updated in real-time, you’ll always have access to the latest information.

What if you didn’t have to rely as heavily on your IT team for data analytics? Power BI lets you ask questions in natural language and answers with interactive data visualization. For example, asking “How did last year’s sales compare to the competition?” would give you a chart or graph.
Private or Public Reports
