What is Power BI?

Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence tool that provides you with a 360° view of your organisation’s data.

 Power BI is part of the Power Platform from Microsoft and is an industry-leading solution that is unlike anything else you can get on the market.

With Power BI you can create dashboards and reports, in easy-to-digest visuals – no nonsense, it’s just clear and simple to understand. 

Reports can be automated to regularly update and are connected to all of your data sources, reducing the complexity of using multiple analytics systems.

This will improve processes and efficiency across your whole business and will help you pinpoint new opportunities, uncover new trends and empower you to leverage data for competitive advantage. It’s perfect for Senior Management teams to oversee high level information, track progress of KPIs and manage business priority projects.

All industry types can benefit from utilising Microsoft Power BI as a service, and it can be used across business functions to reach a multitude of goals. Below are some examples of how we have helped our clients with Power BI.  

Challenge: A manufacturer needed better visibility into their supply chain to identify bottlenecks and improve delivery times.

This enabled the manufacturer to monitor key performance indicators, identify bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions to optimise their supply chain, resulting in improved delivery times and reduced costs.
