"Real-time" data
Your business is best positioned for success when collaboration across departments and teams is working well. Power BI can strengthen collaboration between your employees by enabling them to make decisions based on “real-time” data.
Strengthen your position
With Power BI, you can display KPIs for each team, business area or department on a big screen. This gives you an overview of the performance of every employee and process. Together, these insights strengthen your position in the market.
Bring all your data together in one place
Do you do your analysis in Excel? Then you probably also spend a lot of time integrating your different source systems.
Power BI comes with a wide range of prebuilt connectors for many of the most popular source systems. In just a few minutes, you can transfer data from your website, various marketing platforms, or financial systems directly into Power BI.
If you store a lot of your data on a SQL server, you can easily retrieve it from there too. Microsoft continually updates Power BI’s integration capabilities, so the tool stays current.

Microsoft Power Automate is the ultimate workflow automation tool. Bring together the applications you need for your project in a single workflow, then watch from the sidelines as your tasks complete themselves.
Hosting an event? Automatically delegate your tasks and get notified when people have completed them.
With Microsoft Power Automate, it’s no cliché to say that the only limit is your imagination.
The centrepiece of Microsoft's Power Platform is, of course, its BI tool: Power BI – and for good reason. Power BI makes it easy for users to gain insight into and get an overview of their data sources.
The main goal is to build a culture where decision-makers can act quickly on facts rather than gut feelings.
Microsoft builds Power BI around four key areas: intuitive, user-friendly design, artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics.
PowerApps
makes it easy for businesses to develop their own high-quality web applications and is ideal for bringing together the features of different applications in one interface. For example, you can integrate a Microsoft flow with Power BI.

Data visualisation

But the insights uncovered in your data sources can be complex and difficult to present in a way everyone can understand.
The key to it all, of course, is a good understanding of data visualisation.
