What is Power BI
Power BI is a suite of business analytics
tools to analyse data and share insights. Monitor your business and get answers
quickly with rich dashboards available on every device.
Power BI dashboards provide a 360-degree
view for business users with their most important metrics in one place, updated
in real time, and available on all of their devices. With one click, users can
explore the data behind their dashboard using intuitive tools that make finding
answers easy.
Dashboards can be created from over 50 plus
types of sources like Microsoft Excel, SSAS, Access, Azure, Facebook, etc… and can
access the data and reports from anywhere with the Power BI Mobile apps.
Using the Power BI gateways, you can
connect to your organisations on premise SQL Server databases, Analysis
Services models, and many other data sources to your same dashboards in Power
BI.
