Connecting HANA Live to Power BI - Architecture, Data Validation, Recommendations, Gateway and Various Approach with few demo example
Starting in May 2010, with SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft began talking more and more about "Personal BI". The focus of this discussion was a paradigm shift moving business intelligence from being something a few BI professionals do with a data warehouse to a practice done by Information Workers every day in familiar tools like Microsoft Excel and SharePoint. Over the course of this session we will show you the improvements that Microsoft has made in the 2013 stack to take this new focus from being a “nice idea” to a truly powerful reality. We will explore the improvements made to Excel, PowerPivot & Power View, & Reporting Services. We will explain the underlying technology that makes the new features possible and walk through demos of some of the shinier toys. At the end of the session you will walk away with a better understanding of what is new in 2013 for business intelligence and an extreme desire to build reusable data model that will undoubtedly bring real value to your business.

Power BI Governance and Development Best Practices - Presentation at #MSBIFI ...Jouko Nyholm
Selected slides from presentation regarding Power BI Governance and Development Best Practices. Presentation was held at MS BI & Power BI User Group Finland event 12.6.2018 at Microsoft Flux, Helsinki.
Without the animations & hands-on demos the slides do not tell the whole story, but hopefully valuable to some nevertheless.
September 14, 2016 - Austin SharePoint User Group
What does governance mean in SharePoint? How do you get to good governance? Do you really need governance? What happens if you don’t have governance, or do it poorly?
Jim brings his experience building SharePoint governance in multiple organizations. The session covers governance basics to help get you going in the right direction.
(Unlike the "Group Therapy" session, this is a straight-up presentation, though the Q&A at the end can be used by the audience to ask their specific questions)
This slide deck is from the presentation On September 14, 2016 at the Austin O365 & SharePoint User Group
We live in a world of silos - separate systems each with data essential to our daily work. No organization has all its important information in one place - 61% of knowledge workers regularly access 4 or more systems to get the information they need to do their jobs, and 15% need 11 or more systems. Integration to provide a unified view across these systems is very valuable, but it has been difficult to accomplish - even between different Microsoft products. This seminar will show you how to bridge across these silos using a search-based approach that is both quick and powerful.
My presentation to the Oklahoma City SharePoint User Group, September 7, 2016
The basics of SharePoint Governance - what you need to consider when implementing governance, how to create a plan, and how to make governance work in the long term.
This presentation contains information about the different social features in SharePoint 2010. From the value they provide, to how they can be extended from a development perspective.
Lambda Solutions | Interconnecting your Integrations Lambda Solutions
Is your technology working with you or working against you? Integrations play an essential role in building an interconnected IT environment, where information is readily shared between systems. If your disparate systems can’t “speak” to each other they become information silos and information becomes more difficult to access.
In this webinar we will outline how Moodle and Totara LMS’ can be interconnected to your other IT systems. Our speaker, James, will demonstrate how different types of information can be used as part of these integrations. We will also detail how 3rd party applications can be integrated into the LMS to further enhance its abilities with additional course and content functionality. For each of these integrations, we will identify how they can be performed and what features are available out of the box in Moodle and Totara LMS’.
Key takeaways:
What does it mean to integrate with Moodle & Totara?
What types of integration are available for the LMS’s?
What information can be shared between Moodle/Totara and your other systems?
What integrations can you utilize immediately through Moodle & Totara’s out of the box features?

SP Fest Denver - O365 Governance: One Area Cloud May Not Be SimplerStacy Deere
Random things we all typically hear when it comes to Governance…
• Not on top of the list right now
• Not in the budget
• We’ll get to it later
• Not really seeing the need…
I have yet to hear 1 valid reason as to why Governance should not be completed, maintained, or approved in budgets. Governance really is not an option in any organization if you want your processes and procedures followed by employees. Each time I have been involved in a project where governance was put on the back burner there have been issues with not knowing what other departments processes were, building themselves into a corner, not meeting service level agreements, and the list goes on and on. If there is no one source of truth in how all the functions of the business run, how are you ever going to build a solid foundation and keep it running at the level it needs to run so that your organization can be successful? In this session we will review what governance is, how it can be useful, how you can get started, maintain it, and most importantly how to get it approved!

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Unleashing the Power of Data_ Choosing a Trusted Analytics Platform.pdfEnterprise Wired
In this guide, we'll explore the key considerations and features to look for when choosing a Trusted analytics platform that meets your organization's needs and delivers actionable intelligence you can trust.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

3. Agenda
• What is Governance?
• Information Access Policy Groups/Workspaces
• Sharing vs Publishing
• Licensing Policy – Who is important enough??
• Visual Governance
• Reporting the reports
• Enforcing?
• Best Practices and Lessons (already) Learned…
4. What is Governance? (In the IT context)
A formal framework that provides a structure for organizations to ensure
that IT investments support business objectives.
• ITIL – Information Technology Infrastructure Library is a Governance
Framework
• GRC – Governance Risk & Compliance is another Framework established
in 2000 in US for large corporations
• ISO 27001 – is the IT related framework
5. What is PowerBI? (in case planet Earth is not home…)
• A tool which is part of O365 to create and
share data visualizations
Allows Editors to:
• Collaborate and create contact in
workspaces
• Share content with end users using
PowerBI Apps
• Embed dashboards and reports in other
applications
• Measure impact
• Enable Self Service BI
6. It is Self Service BI so why
bother?
• Don’t let it be the new white elephant
• Fast corporate reporting
• Measure the usability and the impact of
your reporting
• Information security
• Corporate Culture
• Regulations
• Reporting to Stakeholders
7. The Essential Slide to understand where the
data goes and where it comes from
Apps
Reports
O365
Premium with
dedicated
storage
8. Where is Governance involved?
Who can Edit?
How and who access Data Source?
Templates and custom visuals to use
On
Prem
DB
Direct Query?
Cash/import data?
Who can consume?
Similar across devices?
Special authentication?
Design
Data Integrity
Scheduled
connections
Ignite 2017 -
10. Let’s start with the most celebrated topic…
(Credits: @geek_king)
11. Security
• Dave against the information security – the human error
• When sharing publicly that means- I can tweet it and everybody in
the world can see it! It is just a link
• Sending the reports as a .pbix file, just like an Excel file – no
encryption, no permissions, anyone can download desktop version
and access
• Well print screens… there is nothing much for now
• Watch the groups! Who is in your group? Does she still work here?
• Create alerts for access/changes in groups
• Create group review schedule
12. Data Security – Who can Access my data??
(PowerBI.com)
• Access Management can be done through groups to the groups
Workspace
• Access management through groups can be done directly in O365 –
People or through PowerShell
• External Business Users with O365 – Was added in Nov release!
• Anonymous login – no more Windows Live ID (old but sad news)
Premium gives
view access to
entire org
Pro – only other
Pro users can
view
13. How to add people to your Group?
• Use Groups to manage peoples
access to your PowerBI
Workspaces
• Assign tasks to people in your
group
• Governance made easier, similar
to Outlook distribution lists
• Permissions types:
• Owners
• Guests Governance – You have a
group I have a group
Everybody can have a
group!!!!!
Lets create a group and
add people
14. Directory Management – Groups
• Policy in azure ad allows admin to restrict group creation only on outlook and all
group applications
• Multi domain support
• Working on policy for group expiry
• Hidden membership
• Separate groups by corporate policy type – will follow other organizational content
• Usage guidelines
• Multi domain and creating groups in specific domain
• Usage reporting
• Hybrid – support for groups solution for Hybrid scenario
• Remember Dave! Check who is in your group and set policies
16. Access control
• Granular access control on who can view
the data
• RLS- data is presented based on
permissions user has
The general rule still applies:
• Premium gives view access to entire org
• Pro – only other Pro users can view
so no we cannot assign roles to people
outside the group and expect them to see
Ignite 2017 -
17. Roles – view only the relevant information
• Roles are assigned in the PowerBI top menu, designed to customize
which information can be viewed based on DAX query filters
18. Roles the hard way –
PowerShell helps bringing governance to life
• Connect to Azure AD – the place where the access is managed
• List of roles in tenant
• Command:
• Add the user to the role:
• See what Dave is up to in his roles
20. Who is Important Enough??
• Pro or Premium?
• In Pro & Premium: who gets the pro? Editor
in each org? in each group? IT controlled
only?
• Cost efficiency analysis when users number
reaches x…
• What is the process to request a user?
Should the admin decide?
• Each group gets a pro user in Premium? Just
specific people after a course?
22. Publishing vs Sharing
• Using PowerBI App –
Allows permissions, push to
group, selective publishing
of content, “production”
environment
• Publish content pack (next
slide)
• Publish to Web – an
addiction of many
• Using Share Report by email
option, allows sending a report to
users with the cashed data. If user
has connection through Data
Gateway and direct query the data
will refresh adding more access
requests
• Share dashboards and reports in
other apps – “embedding” in
SharePoint
23. Publishing and Sharing
• How are apps different from content packs?
• Apps are an evolution and simplification of content packs
• Which helps enabling governance policy?
APPS Content Packs Governance
Maintain Grouping and Identity loses its grouped identity: it's just a list
of dashboards and reports
Apps – Identity and data access
1:1 Workspace to App (to
group…)
Multiple content packs from
workspace
CP – Different content vs. continue
based on group
Allows selective publishing Allows selective publishing Both
Push notification when created to
users, link the app
Send the content pack, link report or
dashboard
Apps – linkable, single source of truth
The way to publish your content Will be deprecated Why didn’t I just start here???
24. Software Development Lifecycle in PowerBI

25. Embeded
• Embed the Analytics in the PowerBI app
Use the Azure to add the analytics to your app and analyze its usage
• https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/power-bi-embedded/
• Decision making regarding the app usability, control and publishing
We will return to this in the reports
about report section so…stay tuned!
27. Visual Governance
Branding – Why you should come to the Vancouver PowerBI user group
Scott Stauffer presented in Nov
• Templates - Reports colors, Color scheme, fonts, frame sizes…
• Corporate Layouts -
• Visual Templates – Entire workspace
• Max visuals per page
• Mobile page definitions
• NEW – Organizational Custom Visuals
Gallery (Feb release) (Amanda Cofsky)
28. Organizational Themes
(Release link Sep)
• Theme
• Colors
• Fonts
• Text Size
• Data Labels control (not for the custom
visuals)
• Report Theme Generator for the UI
Designers LINK
• Theme creation for the color match
challenged LINK (Thank you Chuck!!!)
29. What are the custom visuals and where can
we find them?
How do we use them?
• Can be added as a file
• Can be added from the store
• Can be created
My Company store – Amanda Cofsky
(February release )
30. What can go wrong and how governance
helps?
• Filters -Not always filtering correctly –
specify which visuals are approved to use in your organization consider customizing according
to themes
• Usually Themes are not effective –
Decide if it is important and follow through/ customize with R
• Code might not be updated
Visuals review after every release or some of them by your PowerBI admin
• Maps support different coordinates
Data integrity for coordinates (I have manually changed in 134 buildings…)
• Mobile display
SDL in every PowerBI implementation
• R Scrip installation
• Dashboard crashing…too many visuals ahhh
Guidance specific to your organization on Dashboard and Reports UI
32. Which Enforcing tools
have we got?
• Templates and Visual Guides – can be overridden
• Publishing methods are restricted (Premium vs Pro)
• Monitor the views and reports – log view/Embeded
• Create alerts and policies for suspicious activity –
Using other tools – Embedded
• Applications across devices – Where the
application can be viewed – more control
33. Enabling the
Governance
• Export and Sharing
• Can people publish to the
web?
• Can data be exported?
• PowerPoint is still in Preview,
should we use that and risk
complains?
• Print settings (Dave still got
print screen )
35. Who published what when
and is it still active?
• The full list of all your
embed reports
• Who published them and
where can they be found
• Usage and other metrics
in premium or the
PowerBI Embeded on
Azure
36. Mobile App – Microsoft InTune Software
publisher
• Configuring publishing and other
app policies for PowerBI mobile
applications on iphone
• Adding Conditional Access
Features
• PowerBI Application in your
organization
• Corporate device enrollment
• Adding the App URL into the
Intune software
37. Android InTune
• Adding to the corporate App
Store
• MDM management in O365 can
coexist with InTune
38. Reporting the Reports Audit Logs – O365
Admin
• Audit Logs –
• Gives the log list starting mid November for usability
• Can be exported and report can be created
39. Audit Logs through Embedded and Azure
• provides reporting on the entire PowerBI usage in the organization
• No of users
• Users Accesses
• Access by date
• Data Refresh – scheduled and performed
• Gateway Lifecycle – active and used
• Pro Trial status (preview feature)
• Usability reports for each App
• Usability reports for dashboards
• User Access reports
40. Access Reports about the Reports
• O365 Admin portal PowerBI Preview -
https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/reportsUsage
• AdminPortal in your PowerBI console online
https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal
• Embeded via Azure
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/power-bi-embedded/
PowerBI Premium – control over performance and scale –
Organization wide control for access and queries
Enables Performance review – which reports and apps are the most used?
41. To sum it all up
• Policies
• Rules and regulations
• Frequent reports
• Check where does Dave belong and create processes around adding
and terminating employees and partners
42. Not the best Practices
Organizational Practice Result
To save on licensing cost, the reports are
simply shared via SharePoint and emails
using the Share to Web
The cashed data is completely exposed
The data synchronization is done to multiple sources
resulting data caps reached
Cashing and importing all the data
instead of using direct query
The data quate of 10G per group is running out, the data
sets cannot be updated anymore
Data Integrity in case of no Sync or communication lost for
live DB
Not creating the mobile view Frustrated mobile users – adoption is affected
Too much mobile data used
Presentation is not fir for screen
Creating a group for each report Shared data cannot be viewed, report versions are
becoming common, leads to lack of single source of truth in
visualization
43. Lessons Learned
• Design your governance policy ahead of starting – Frame work
• Data Security
• Data Integrity
• Access
• Visual
• Monitoring
• Licensing decisions
• Design your KPI’s around PowerBI
• Build the process than look to automate it
