What’s so great about Power BI?

Microsoft Excel has its limits, even with Power Query and Power Pivot.
Microsoft Power BI is the ideal tool for getting started with business intelligence.

In our view, the 5 most important advantages of BI tools are:

1. Data can be flexibly combined from different databases, online sources and files to gain new insights
2. Self-service drilldowns make it possible to immediately find the cause in detail instead of waiting for new data deliveries
3. Automated updates save time that controlling experts can use for more valuable tasks
4. Visual representations are easier to read than tables and quickly lead the user to important insights
5. Comprehensive management of user rights enables an exclusive database for the entire team or company

We use Microsoft Power BI as part of our project analyses for sales management, pricing, production effectiveness, KPI measurement, personnel management, etc. We are then often asked to continue to make the dashboards used for the project available within the company.
Power BI then usually becomes the central reporting tool for our customers.
It pulls data from SAP, SQL, time recording, websites and more.
Automatic updating not only saves a lot of time, but also avoids manual updating errors.

We can see that data-driven strategy implementation is possible with Microsoft Power BI – with measurable success for the company.
