Editor's Notes

  • #2 Cover Option2
  • #5 The way business intelligence is used in organization has changed significantly over the years. One way of understanding these changes is using the analogy of these three waves of BI: In the early days of BI, organizations would typically have a team or person handling all the requests for insights from the business. This model is not very scalable, and it can take a long time for the answer to get back to the user. By the time it does, a new question probably has already come up. To solve for this lack of scalability and gap between BI team and end users, the second approach to BI was to get BI capabilities in the hands of analysts, who understand the business and are able to support decisions with analytics. With Power BI, we want to enable everyone in the organization to analyze their data, ask the questions will help them run their business better, and act based on the insights they find.

  • #24 Execution and Vision
  • #25 The explosion of data permeating all organizations is pivoting the way we interact with data and the way we seek to draw intelligence from this vast – and often untapped – potential. Consider that by 2020 there will be 50 zetabytes of data – this is 20,000 times the total amount of data that existed in the world less than three decades before. And for most organizations, this data often resides on-premise, in the Microsoft cloud or another – such as Office 365, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Marketo and others. Or it may reside in both the cloud and on-premise [i.e. hybrid]…making it challenging to access and draw actionable insights from the data.   With Power BI there’s no need to move your data; we’ll meet you where you are…as a business intelligence and analytics SaaS service, Power BI equips business users to directly connect with and gain insights from their business data. Harness data from Excel spreadsheets, on-premises data sources, big data, streaming data, and cloud services – it doesn’t matter what type of data you want or where it lives, Power BI allows you to connect to hundreds of data sources. We’ve developed content packs that deliver a curated experience with pre-built dashboards for popular SaaS services to get you up and running quickly. And Power BI delivers unmatched, unique ways for users to experience their data with speed and agility: Live dashboards that maintain a real time pulse on the business and provide critical insights… Custom visuals that bring data to life and surface intelligence hidden in the sea of data… Natural language query that enables uses to simply ask questions of their data in an intuitive way… Whether in the office or on-the-go, Power BI also provides anywhere access to insights with dashboards accessible via the desktop, web or across mobile devices.   Perhaps most importantly, with Power BI you can leverage world-class data analytics capabilities from historical data sets, but it also delivers the ability to see your data as it’s happening right now…no longer looking in the rear-view mirror. The notion of transitioning from historical intelligence, to real time insights and ultimately to enable action is propelling modern BI and accelerating the evolution of Power BI… This means equipping users to take action where and when needed… For example, Power BI seamlessly integrates with Microsoft business apps like Dynamics 365 and Office 365, equipping users with insight directly within the Microsoft apps they use every day. And with Power BI Embedded, organizations also have the flexibility to infuse third party apps with the same intelligence… Lastly, integrating intelligence at the point of action leads to automation within systems that trigger commands based on preset thresholds…further operationalizing business insight throughout an organization.
