Microsoft Power BI

Leader in the analytics and intelligence arena

One of the most popular business intelligence platforms is Microsoft Power BI. It enables companies to visualise their data in ways that help them to understand and gain deeper insights about their business.

Power BI consolidates your data into dashboard-style reports, where you can then use filters and other options that dynamically change the content and format of the information you’re viewing.

Microsoft Power BI is an application enabling companies to view their data using interactive and graphical tools. The solution is made up of three main components:

  • Collation of Data (data sources and data collection)
  • Cubing of Data ready for Power BI (data preparation)
  • Presenting data within Workspaces (interactive dashboards).

Why choose to analyse your data with Power BI?

  • It is simple to attain and implement a Power BI solution.
  • You can add Power BI to your company’s Office 365 subscription for a low cost per user per month. You can also choose different licence types depending on what each user needs to use Power BI for.
  • Delivering Power BI to the users is cloud-based, which generally means buying computer hardware is not required.
  • Creating workspaces (dashboards and reports etc.) is straightforward and modifying them is easy. Knowledge of the source data is required and a basic understanding of how data is joined together is useful.
  • Using Power BI requires little to zero training. Provided the user understands the business information presented, learning the tools and features of Power BI is simple.
  • It only takes a few days to design, build and deliver a Power BI solution. You can also add other business applications on demand at any time. This means you could build your Power BI platform in agile stages and at a pace that is best for your business.

There are some technical aspects when building a Power BI solution, and some companies do not have the skill sets in-house (or time) to complete all the necessary parts of a project.

A Technology Partner brings skills to the project which tend to be required when extracting data from software systems and getting this data ready for consumption within Power BI.

At Avrion, we take this further. We help our customers to translate their ideas into properly scoped requirements. Then we build the BI solution in a collaborative way, so that our customers can evolve and develop their solution easily on their terms.

"I’m using Power BI a lot more now than I did when we started with creating refreshable dashboards for the Senior Leadership Team and other management levels showing different elements of the business. We are doing this by implementing the data warehouse built by Avrion, which is very handy. I love Power BI and think it is such a great tool that every business can have/use as it turns your raw data into a story that shows different aspects from the company over time."
