How do you take a non-profit with limited resources, legacy systems, and out-of-control data silos and turn into a data-driven leader in its industry? Through combining the modern BI and collaboration tools from Microsoft with the expertise and generosity of the SQL and Power BI communities, of course!

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) works in Sub-Saharan Africa and India to end HIV and AIDS in children through a three-pronged approach of advocacy, program implementation, and research. In each of the 12 countries where we work, clinicians and researchers must be able to access and use data to ultimately improve the health outcomes of the patients we serve. At a global level, we need to ensure not only that we are using country data for better strategic planning and decision making, but EGPAF must also prove to stakeholders and donors that it has the data to back up its work.

Come learn about EGPAF’s Informatics team went from zero to hero through the implementation of Power BI, PowerApps, and Flow (along with SharePoint, Azure, and Teams) with invaluable assistance from this very community. Learn how we copied the model of user groups by creating our own internal Power BI User group that now has over 100 members in 12 countries. This session is specifically geared towards non-profits (and/or those who are interested in getting involved!).
