10 Key Benefits of Power BI

There are plenty of advantages to choosing Microsoft Power BI for your organization’s business intelligence needs.  This powerful and popular business analytics solution is designed to quickly present critical data that can help your organization spot trends and make strategic decisions.  Along with presenting informative business operational data, there are many advantages of this Power Intelligence Business Tool. Below we will highlight the 10 Key Benefits of Power BI. 

1. Microsoft Integrations:

Power BI is seamlessly integrated with most of the Microsoft cloud platforms and solutions. This is a huge advantage if you are already a 365 customer. If you are not, you should consider this as part of any future plans for your organization. With Microsoft Power BI, which has tight integration with other familiar Microsoft Products, you can add insightful intelligence to your total business solution.

2. Safely interact with Business data:

When you slice and dice as well as filter your business data you don’t need to be concerned about impacting the underlying dataset. You can’t corrupt your data. You explore and experiment without fear of breaking something. You can run various what-if scenarios to test ideas that you may have.

3. Set Alerts:

Set alerts so that you are notified when certain thresholds are met for your individual business. Don’t miss out on important financial or other events that you can tailor to fit your business requirements.

Sometimes the fastest way to get an answer from your data is to ask a question using natural language. The question box is available at the top of your dashboard. For example, “Show me the count of opportunities by sales stage as a funnel.” You can explore all areas of your business to get information fast.

5. Centralize all  your Data:

Centralize your data when it is stored in different systems or databases. Use PowerBI to gather important information from various sources to quickly get a view of your business. Create a single source of truth for all your data. No need to have multiple data silos; have everything under one solution.

6. Create Important Reports Faster:

Uncover the full potential of your data using next-generation AI tools with Copilot in Power BI. Describe the insights you need or ask a question about your data and Copilot analyzes and pulls the right data into a report—easily turning data into actionable insights.

7. Self Service:

Create a very affordable self-service report and dashboard for key team members in your organization. Everyone can have access to key business data to keep them all on the same page.

8. Work with Microsoft Excel:

Easily connect Microsoft Excel queries, data models, and reports to Power BI Dashboards—helping to quickly gather, analyze, publish, and share Excel business data in a tool most users are already very familiar with. Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Excel are great resources for boosting employee productivity.

9: A Consistently Updated Business Solution: 

Microsoft Power BI is a cloud business solution.  Similar to other Cloud Business technology solutions, there is a great advantage to having a cloud system that is frequently updated and enhanced so that companies have the latest products available.

10: Create Custom Dashboards:
