Microsoft: Introduction to Power BI

Introduction to Power BI; speaking of visualization, dashboards, social media, smart data and big data.

Abstract:

With every company now becoming a data company and technologies such as Machine Learning, Internet of Things and Mobile applications becoming more accessible to everyone through services in the cloud - you need a way to analyse and share all the interesting data and insights that can be uncovered.

In this session we want to introduce you to Power BI, a suite of business analytic tools that allow you to pull in data from many sources, produce compelling interactive reports and dashboards with rich visuals, as well as being able to access then on any device or embed Business Intelligence inside your own applications.

Raw data and analytics is part of the journey, but visualisations give you the insights you need, where and when you need them.
