As a businessman, a controller, and someone passionate about numbers and data, I encountered Microsoft’s Power BI in a customer project aimed at visualizing facts, figures, data, and processes. Compared to other BI tools, I quickly recognized Power BI’s potential:
Interface versatility: Power BI can pull data from virtually any source.
Simplicity: Power BI is straightforward and intuitive to use.
Office integration: Power BI is seamlessly integrated into the Office 365 suite.
Future-oriented: Microsoft’s DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is the data programming language of the future in the Office ecosystem. Future generations of employees will master DAX just like they know Excel’s VLOOKUP today.
Affordable entry point: Power BI offers a low-cost way to get started and experiment in the world of BI tools.
With this experience, I built a complete BI ecosystem for a client. The fully automated workflows enable both operational and strategic controlling. The integration of accounting data supports planning and forecasting processes. Custom tools support operational management from pre- and co-calculation to post-calculation. Which products and customers generate profit? Which don’t?
