Power BI can help your organization make the most of your big data investments by connecting to all your data sources, scaling to analyze, share and promote insights, and maintaining accuracy, consistency and security. It helps empower everyone in your business to quickly make data-driven decisions so you can reach your organizational goals.

You should consider Power BI if you are looking to make your analytics process more accessible, simpler, more flexible and intuitive. Power BI provides tools that the non-technical users on your team can use to perform analytics - without having to involve your IT team. You can create easy-to-use models, data visualizations, and dashboards and share them throughout your organization.

Why Choose Power BI?

Power BI is a cloud-based analytics platform consisting of a combination of tools (i.e., visualization, self- service data analysis, etc.) that allows users to connect to multiple data sources—no matter where the data resides—and create clear and custom insights. It easily enables you to create a data-driven culture in your organization, putting the power of AI in everyone’s hands for better decision-making across the board. Power BI consists of many components. Users find some more useful than others depending on their roles in the company. To get the most out of it, you should do your best to ensure all users are informed of the capabilities of each, so everyone can decide for themselves which components are a better fit for the work they need to perform. At Dobler Data Solutions, we can assess your business’ needs to determine what Power BI solution is the best fit for you. Some of their key offerings include:
