Product description

Power BI is an analytics service by Microsoft. It offers a collection of services, apps, and connectors that work together so that unrelated data sources can yield important insights. Its familiar tools and intuitive features make it easy to create reports, collaborate on dashboards, forecast emerging trends, and share results. It displays the data findings in interactive visualizations, bringing business intelligence capabilities to the team and other security capabilities.

How we use Microsoft Power BI at VA

The more data there is to compare, the more accurate the insights will be, and better decisions can be made. Power BI can connect unrelated data sources, then visualize the findings with up-to-the-minute analytics. It integrates smoothly, using data from Excel spreadsheets, cloud-stored data, or locally stored data. To help forecast emerging trends, it has built-in artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. All data is protected with sensitivity labeling, end-to-end encryption, and real-time access monitoring.
