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.
It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

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.

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.
Adjusting primitives for graph : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
Graph algorithms, like PageRank Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) is an adjacency-list based graph representation that is
Multiply with different modes (map)
1. Performance of sequential execution based vs OpenMP based vector multiply.
2. Comparing various launch configs for CUDA based vector multiply.
Sum with different storage types (reduce)
1. Performance of vector element sum using float vs bfloat16 as the storage type.
Sum with different modes (reduce)
1. Performance of sequential execution based vs OpenMP based vector element sum.
2. Performance of memcpy vs in-place based CUDA based vector element sum.
3. Comparing various launch configs for CUDA based vector element sum (memcpy).
4. Comparing various launch configs for CUDA based vector element sum (in-place).

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).

4. 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…
5. 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
6. What are we using PowerBI for?
Connect to
Data sources
Create
Reports/
dashboards/
Applications
Collaborate
and Share
Access Data
Insights
7. What is currently part of PowerBI
Power BI desktop
Power BI Desktop is the report authoring tool - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop
Access data from various data sources and transform them for your reporting needs
Power BI Service – Pro/ Premium (Capacity, Licensing and Monitoring)
Browser based portal - https://app.powerbi.com
Share and collaborate with your collogues and wider audience
PowerBI Report Server
On premise solution for organizational reporting
PowerBI Mobile
Mobile Application, can be connected to your PowerBI on pemise or the cloud
PowerBI Data Gateway
Install in your organization, to enablesecure data connection (same as for PowerApps)
Embeded Analytics
PowerBI in Azure, set powerBI when needed, in the Azure portal
Use PowerBI REST API & JS to embed in your applications
8. It is Self Service BI so why
Governance?
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
9. The Essential Slide to understand where
the data goes and where it comes from
Apps
Reports
O365
Premium with
dedicated
storage
Server
12. 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
13. O365 tools to help Data Governance
Data Retention –
Labels
Policies
Sharing – Groups vs Workspaces
Archiving – if the data source in
o365
Delve – Check the results to find
slips in data governance
14.
15. Let’s start with the most celebrated topic…
(Credits: @geek_king)
16. Security
Dave against the information security – the human error
When sharing publicly - I can tweet it and everybody in the world can see! It is just a link
Sending the reports as a .pbix file– no encryption, no permissions, anyone can download
desktop version and access
Well print screens…
Watch the groups! Who is in your group/Workspace? Does she still work here?
Is the report shared with all the group members?
What are the specific roles assigned to group members?
How is it different from O365? It is!
Create alerts for access/changes in groups
Create group review schedule
Premium capacity – dedicated access report
17. Data Security – Who can Access my data??
Access Management can be done through groups to the groups Workspace
The Access management through groups can be done directly in O365 –
People or through PowerShell
External Business Users with O365 B2B
Premium capacity - External users including token based authentication
Premium gives
view access to
entire org
Pro – only
other Pro users
can view
B2B/ Embedded
gives external
share
18. The “Old Workspace”
How to add people to your Group?
Use Groups to manage peoples
access to your PowerBI
Workspaces
Similar to Outlook distribution lists
Permissions types:
Owners
Guests
Governance – You have a
group I have a group
Everybody can have a
group!!!!!
Vignesh's SharePoint Thoughts
19. 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
20. The “New Way”
Add the permission directly to your workspace
No O365 groups are involved
Internal Azure AD users
B2B users that are trusted
Permissions types:
Member
Admin
Contributor
21. The B2B challenge /opportunity
Trust on the Azure AD level can be established between organizations
The users from one company can be added to another, recently with EDIT
permissions
Scenarios:
Consultants & support don’t need another license
Clients and partners can share reports
X Manage additional security layer
X More data bridges and “Dave” problems
22. PowerShell helps bringing security
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
23. 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
24. Row Level Security inside the report
Roles are assigned in the PowerBI top menu, designed to customize which information can be viewed based on
DAX query filters on the dataset level
25. Access control – Overview
Workspace – grant access to all reports and their data sets so they can be edited
Application – Publish some of the reports and allow users to view without editing
Embed report – add report to application and use its authentication
Inside the report – RLS users to see their data according to their internal permission
Additional capabilities:
Limit download
Limit access to data set
Allow/deny users to publish
26. Reporting and tracking Access & Usability
Enabling the data collection for usage metrics for each
repot.
To view and collect for the entire organization all reports
– O365 admin portal
27.
28. Where my data is? Premium Capacity
Compliance with the local rules (GDPR)
Premium capacity location
29. Data Sources – how to connect?
Install data gateway – Why do we need data Gateway?
Personal data Gateway – not for organizations, will not work for other users
Organizational/on premise– set with organizational user – password expiry and security
Configure the gateway in the report refresh, to avoid entering credentials
Create Application user
Enable organizational access, set the user to access the data source (SQL)
Data Refresh
Online - Defined on the Data Set not the individual report or dashboard
Report Server on premise – Access and permissions are defined on the folder level
Gateway has to be online and reachable – is your machine on?
Direct Query Access – Online Synchronization
Same user that is creating the PowerBI report has to publish it (Application or Admin)
A report can have multiple data sources,
A report cannot be Direct Query and multiple data source
Direct Query report has to have only 1 data base/source to access!
30.
31. Who is Important Enough??
For more information check PowerBI.com
Or great webinar by Ted Pattison – MVP, who starts with all the licensing options Link
He is also speaking here
Free Pro License Premium
License
Report Server
(SQL 2017 or
PowerBI
Reporting)
Azure on
demand
32. Publishing vs Sharing
Using PowerBI App – Allows permissions, push
to group, selective publishing of content,
“production” environment
Publish content pack
Publish to Web – an addiction of many
Embed in Azure
Publish in the Report Server
33. Report Server security and publishing
Edit permissions from AD groups not O365 groups
Publish report by folder
Define refresh policies
34. Publishing and Sharing & the end of content packs
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???

37. Software Development Lifecycle in PowerBI
The “New Way” Azure Dev Ops
Stage 1
Create repository of .pbix files
Use Git commands to commit the report
Stage 2
Use pipeline to deploy the report in the portal
(multiple authentication not supported yet)
40. 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 -
Pie Charts – do not use pie charts!
Visual Templates – Entire workspace
Max visuals per page
Mobile page definitions
Organizational Custom Visuals
Gallery (Feb release) (Amanda Cofsky)
41. Data Visualization Recommended Best practices (Rules)
Do not use pie Charts (Storytelling with data)
Use the 9 gestalt principles
Add Tooltip
Add Data Labels
Avoid not necessary lines / colors
One glance
43. (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 Charles Sterling!!!)
44. What are the custom visuals and where to
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 )
45. 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
46.
47. 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
48. 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 )
49. Premium Capacity Advanced Governance Portal

used?
57. How fast is our dashboard?
New Too- Performance Inspector
Helps optimizing the performance
58.
59. Lessons Learned
Design your governance policy ahead of starting – Framework
Data Security
Data Integrity
Access
Visual
Monitoring
Licensing decisions
Design your KPI’s around PowerBI – Where are you going and why?
Build the process automate it
60. 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
Cashing and importing all the data
instead of using direct query
Not creating the mobile view
Creating a group for each report
Overloading custom queries and
heavy visualization
The cashed data is completely exposed
The data synchronization is done to multiple
sources resulting data caps reached
The data quote 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
Frustrated mobile users – adoption is affected
Too much mobile data used
Presentation is not fir for screen
Shared data cannot be viewed, report versions are
becoming common, leads to lack of single source of truth in
visualization
Slow performing reports, error messages when some data
access might be wrong
61. 1. What Business Question does the visualization help us
solve?
2. What data driven decision will it help making?
3. Who is going to see the data visualization?
4. Where is the data coming from?
Summary not just for the Governance part…
62. 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
