- Key Points: Companies that make best use of data and analytics investments stand to capture more value compared to companies that do not Data is the new currency—the formula is relatively simple as to how we get our returns on data Talk Track: If data is the new competitive advantage for business, we want to get granular and specific on how companies can derive business value. IDC explored the impact of data on business. After surveying more than 2,000 companies, IDC found that there are two categories of businesses: organizations that have taken a leadership position when it comes to data; and those that are not making best use of data. We learned that the leaders—those companies that embraced data—derived significantly more dividends from those investments in data—from increased revenue, improved productivity, and reduced costs. There is a unique formula that drives this notion of data dividends, or return on data. Data-driven companies focus on several areas: Capturing diverse data: You can no longer just think about what to do with traditional data types. You need to be open to and capable of collecting a wide array of data—including new data types. Utilize new analytics: Logical data warehouses are no longer going to extract and transform new data types. You need to explore new analytical capabilities that are suited to new data types and real-time decision making needs. Deliver to more people: To unlock insights, you need to democratize your data across the organization. Uncover real-time insights: With the rise of the Internet of Things, and the instrumentation of just about everything, the ability to provide real-time visibility across lines of business represents a big value opportunity. At the worldwide level, leaders will capture $1.6 trillion more in value from their data and analytics investments over the next four years compared to companies that don’t. This represents a 6 percent higher data dividend for leaders—an opportunity that exists for any individual organization looking to maximize its return on data assets and reap ongoing data dividends. This means that data really is a new currency of the twenty-first century business economy.
- Power BI dashboards With updates to Power BI customers can now see all their data through a single pane of glass. Live Power BI dashboards show visualizations and KPIs from data that reside both on-premises and in the cloud, providing a consolidated view across their business regardless of where their data lives. Simplifying how you interact with data, natural language query is built into the dashboard allowing users to type questions and receive answers from data in the form of interactive visualizations. You can then explore their data further by drilling through the dashboard into the underlying reports, discovering new insights that they can pin back to the dashboard to monitor performance going forward.

- Metro Bank, the first new “High Street” bank in more than a century, has 27 stores and more than 350,000 customer accounts with a target of growing to 1M customers by 2020. The first time the bank evaluated Power BI they had just launched a mobile banking solution: The bank launched mobile banking on a Tuesday. On Thursday the team gathered the first data on how customer were using it. On Friday, they used the Excel and the new features to clean up and sift through the data. Over the weekend they spent 2 hours creating a Power BI dashboard to give executives and colleagues a highly visual, at-a-glance view of how many people were using it to make payments, view balances and transactions, find a nearby branch, and perform about 20 other functions. Today: Today Power BI is used throughout the bank understanding how its customers interact with all its services, including stores, online, telephony, and mobile. Analyzing this information so that they can fine-tune its services and reach its million-customer goal.

Using the powerful Microsoft business intelligence tools to analyze paid and earned media activity, MediaCom can quickly optimize campaign performance and spend across every media channel. The process is efficient, drives better performance, and increases productivity by up to millions of dollars per campaign. Slide talk track: MediaCom directs omni-channel campaigns for global enterprise clients including P&G, Coca-Cola, and Volkkswagen. MediaCom wanted a simple, immediate, and intuitive way to measure the health of an ad campaign run for some of its biggest and most diverse clients. The company needed a way to collect and integrate results from TV, print, radio, search, display, event sponsorships, and the web to determine the success of a campaign and the value returned to the client, especially over time—represented by a composite score. MediaCom, together with Microsoft, created a “health check” that quickly captures the many facets of a multi-platform media campaign in a single score. The media agency conducted a proof of concept using Power BI for Microsoft Office 365, with Power BI tools used through the Excel spreadsheet software—something with which account managers were already familiar. MediaCom used Power BI to discover, merge, and visualize data from multiple third-party data sets. The agency then used Power BI to bring the data sets into a unified campaign dashboard for the client, enabling real-time data analysis and reports that can influence and improve campaign planning and performance. With Power BI for Office 365, MediaCom can facilitate faster, more-effective campaign management and productivity gains that can add millions of dollars in value per campaign. The agency will be able to constantly monitor campaign activity, responding quickly and effectively to resolve small issues before they can escalate. MediaCom can keep clients better and more frequently informed on the status of campaigns, with more meaningful conversations about brand strategy and growth.
- Power BI is a cloud-based business analytics service that enables anyone to visualize and analyze data with greater speed, efficiency, and understanding. It connects users to a broad range of live data through easy-to-use dashboards, provides interactive reports, and delivers compelling visualizations that bring data to life. Through of the course of the preview over 90,000 companies across 185 countries have used Power BI. That is a decade's worth of growth in last generation business intelligence where I have to go get software, install software, get servers, get analysts involved, get all sorts of people involved before anyone got any value, that's a long road from "I want to do it" to "I've done it". With Power BI, this is an enormous user population of people that are now connected with data in a way that was either previously very difficult or for many impossible. Power BI in many ways is a connector between people and the power of the Microsoft Data Platform including data that lives in our cloud, other peoples clouds, or your on-premise systems and also processed by this wide variety of intelligence analytical capabilities that we have - statistical analysis, machine learning, building custom application - all of this technology and the value of converting data into intelligence flows through Power BI.
- We’re enabling developers to easily add custom visuals into Power BI for use in dashboard, reports and content packs. To help you get started, we’ve published the code for all of our visualizations to GitHub. Along with the visualization framework, we’ve provided our test suite and tooling to help the community build high quality custom visuals for Power BI. All of this is available as an open source project on GitHub. You can also visit www.powerbi.com/visuals to visit our community authored visuals gallery , download visuals and get started.
- Stay connected from any device We are working on the next wave of mobile apps for Power BI. These apps will allow users to access their Power BI dashboards through immersive mobile apps for iPad, iPhone, Windows, and Android devices – releasing throughout H1 CY2015. On Dec 18th the iPad app will be the first available and found in the Apple store, with the other apps following in the coming months. These apps will also allow users to receive alerts to important changes in their data as well as to share and collaborate with colleagues so that they can take immediate action, from any device.
