The Impact of Power BI in the World of Business Intelligence
The entire purpose of Business Intelligence is to support and facilitate better business decisions. BI allows organizations access to information that is critical to their success in multiple areas including sales, finance, marketing, and a multitude of other fields and departments.
The world of Business Intelligence has been simplified with an easy and quick tool for effective Data Visualization – the Power BI. This Business Analytics service by Microsoft brings together raw data from various sources like a simple spreadsheet on a desktop to cloud-based data.
It can be used by non-technical people to visually analyze and share data due to its versatility and minimum training, which deems it ready for extensive modeling, real-time analytics, and custom development. This tool is extensively being recommended for usage in data science and digital analytics.
The three elements – Power BI Desktop, the service, and mobile apps – are designed so that users can create as well as share business insights for better decision making. And there is the fourth element too. It’s called the Power BI Report Server. It allows you to publish Power BI reports to an on-premises report server, after these have been created in Power BI Desktop.
