Power BI is known for being a world leading business intelligence tool , developed by Microsoft, which presents data in an interactive and meaningful way. End users can ask questions and see compelling insights through dashboard tiles, interactive graphs, AI visualisations or custom BI reports and dashboards. Microsoft Excel has been the world’s most commonly used BI tool for the past decade, bringing deeper insights and powerful functionality to the table, however, Power BI significantly revolutionises the reporting experience offered through Excel.

Our goal is to create a stable data-driven environment for your organisation using Power BI tools. This will give you the ability to connect to your data easily and enables your developers to build reports and models to boost the analytical richness of your data with little effort, saving many hours. Microsoft products are well known for being stable and reliable software products and Power BI is no different.

Using Power Query, a tool bunded with Power BI Desktop, you can use Power BI to connect to a variety of data sources including SQL server, cloud based data sources like Dynamics 365, Google Analytics or Azure data. There are also options to use Power BI on premises with the Power BI Report Server, or publish reports and visualizations from Power BI Desktop to the web within the Power BI cloud service. Power BI allows you access to create visuals and view reports and dashboards on your mobile using their free cloud based app, this provides a user a platform to view insights any time anywhere.

Be sure that Power BI offers a range of options and services from a free version, for personal use, to the more comprehensive option of Power BI Premium. We will assess and help set up the best options for you to experience the power of enhanced analytics and visuals.  Power BI technology, including  Power BI Embedded and the Power BI Report Server, allows organizations to drive reporting from a range of data sources and it can be used and viewed across many devices and different levels of the organization. Power BI users can securely access and collaborate on content, make comments and help drive an organisational data culture.

As part of Office 365, the Power BI service is an affordable, yet powerful, tool for empowering businesses towards greater analytics. Power BI is not just a simple business intelligence tool, it empower end users to ask questions and get rapid answers without need ‘hand holding’ from IT or developers. Work on a platform that is robust with many features and capabilities and allows you to view reports and dashboards not only in the Power BI cloud service but also on Power BI mobile apps, giving you access to your data and powerful data visualisations from anywhere. Microsoft Power BI is also backed up by a powerful community and support with ways for you to connect with other report developers.

Microsoft Power BI has three main components:

Power BI Desktop (the report authoring tool)
The Power BI Service (used for distribution and consumption)
The Power BI mobile app (used for consumption).

Microsoft Power BI Desktop is a Windows based software application. This tool, which is not used by consumers (end users), is used by report builders (developers or analysts) to connect to data sources, model this data and author reports within the desktop version of Power BI. Power BI Desktop can connect to a wide range of data sources, e.g. big data, cloud based data sources (using the web) or data stored in databases like SQL server. As Power BI Desktop is updated monthly, it is important to ensure your version is kept up to date.

The ‘power’ of Power BI Desktop comes not only from the powerful analytics capabilities through the functionality of visuals and ability to create measures and metrics (KPIs) with ease. Microsoft Power BI Desktop is also bundled with a another ‘power’ tool called Power Query. This tool is used for the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) process that every business intelligence solution requires. Power Query, empowers users to perform complex transformations to data, cleaning and enhancing data as needed, before loading the data into the Power BI data model (database). Thanks to the user friendly graphical interface, learning SQL to extract data from a SQL Server or any other type of data source, whether stored in the cloud (web based platforms) or on premises, is not required. Once the required reports are built within Power BI Desktop, an author can publish the reports to either the Power BI service (the web) or the Power BI Report Server.

The Microsoft Power BI service is a cloud based platform where reports that are published from Power BI Desktop are are consumed by Power BI users in the web. This is also where Power BI Dashboards are created. Dashboards are only created in the Power BI service, not in Power BI Desktop. To view Power BI content shared in the cloud, either a per user license, known as Power BI pro licenses or Power BI premium is required by both Power BI users and report builders. Power BI premium comes with an additional range of services and tools like Power BI embedded which allows reports to be embedded into a custom app or web portal as a white labelled solution. Power BI embedded allows you to securely share Power BI content outside of the Power BI service without the end users needing a relationship with Microsoft. Per user Power BI premium licenses are also available.

Our blog also provides frequent new posts on the different features like Power BI mobile, Power BI premium and Power BI embedded, helping you create reports and dashboards for your users that drive decision making.
