Better decision-making become more agile

Anyone who has ever done even basic analysis is aware of the difficulty in finding, collecting, and leveraging data they need for a specific project. The exercise usually involves downloading data into Excel spreadsheets, merging, creating pivot tables, and performing any number of gyrations to make the data usable. When you are done, you then must create your own graphs, charts and reports and if you want to refresh the data you have to start again.
This intense manual effort often results in inconsistent and unsatisfying results. Power BI can reach into your data warehouse and gather the data you need quickly and accurately. It then consolidates the data and presents it to you in a chart, report or dashboard so you can use it. Data refresh can be automated and scheduled so you can spend your valuable time understanding your information and gaining insights, not wrestling with data.

Low costs

As Power BI is part of the Microsoft Office packages, the costs of implementing the BI tool is generally far lower compared to other solutions. License costs are decided by a per user/month model (no licence, no term), giving companies more flexibility when determining investments.

Easy Access & Robust Security

The Power BI service allows you to share All your data on All your devices All the time.

Access can be administered through Active Directory (AD), the same control panel your organization uses for other Microsoft solutions. But what makes Power BI different is row level security, which allows your team to grant and rescind access on a very controlled level.

For example, through Power BI automation, you can control which team members have access to specific rows of data on reports. This means you can use the easy-to-implement access controls to set rules like, “Only show Steve his Sales” while executives could see the entire report.

Power BI is so secure its used by the US military. Your data is encrypted in transit, encrypted at rest and is only unencrypted when it reaches your device. If required you can even implement 4 factor authentication (username, password, text message & device guid).
