Champion the Adoption of Power BI
Getting into Power BI is quite easy, since you can start free and do quite a bit of analytics just by following the plethora of learning resources out there. However, there comes a point where you might get stumped. It could be anything from your data model growing too big, to licensing issues, governance concerns, security problems, and architectural considerations. One of the main reasons that we’ve come to understand, is the lack of an architecture that fits your BI strategy, or a lack of strategy altogether. This in turn affects the adoption of Power BI as your BI solution, and eventually falls by the wayside.
In this table talk we will talk about how you could champion the adoption of Power BI. You may be evaluating Power BI, thinking of getting into Power BI, maybe you have indeed adopted Power BI for your department and want to take it to the entire organization, or you were evaluating, and then got stuck for whatever reason.
Talk to us, and let’s figure out together how you could champion the adoption of Power BI for your organization.
Dynamic visuals without the workarounds in Power BI
When you share a report with a broad audience, some of your users may want to see slightly different views of particular visuals. They might want to change the visual type, the items on the axis, or even the measures being analyzed. As report creators you understand that it’s difficult to make one visual that satisfies everyone’s requirements, so you might have accommodated these requests via various workarounds in Power BI like bookmarks, custom measures and standalone dimensions. While these workarounds can get the job done, they are often clumsy, cumbersome and time consuming to develop and manage.
In this session, we’ll take a look at some in-built features of Power BI that allows for easier implementation of truly dynamic visuals.
