Power BI

Power BI is a powerful analytics tool that allows you to combine, analyze and share data across your organization. With Power BI, cut down on manual report generation and always have updated data on a real-time basis.

Combine Multiple Sources

Trying to pull together reports from multiple systems and create an overall view of an organization's performance is difficult and time-consuming. With Power BI you can combine multiple data sources into one report showing a complete picture of your organization. Having just one place to view this data means more time to solve issues and grow the business.

Sharing Capabilities

Reports and Dashboards can be shared both within and outside your organization. The ability to share allows others to view the results and data feeding the reports without requiring a license to each of the systems that the data is gathered from. This is very beneficial for those that don’t need to work within a system, such as GP or CRM, but still need to understand how the organization is performing.

Powerful Analytics

Not only can you view your connected data within Power BI, you can also work with the data to analyze the results. The ability to perform calculations, create filters and perform comparisons give you actionable results.

Improved Communication and Collaboration

Turning on the comments section allows all team members to discuss the data directly within Power BI. This eliminates the need for back and forth email or phone calls.

Interactive Data

Users don’t always know what fields to pull or charts to create for how they want to look at the data. The Q&A feature allows users to ask questions about their data, Power BI then searches the data and returns results based on keywords in the question.

Quick Insights

With this feature Power BI will scour your data and return a series of visualizations with different ways to analyze your data.
