What is Microsoft Power BI?
Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence & analytics front-end tool (data visualization platform) applicable for all types of organizations, but with many great integration features with other Microsoft products such as Microsoft Office 365. Power BI is among other things known for its user-friendly interface and ability to enable self-service analytics. Microsoft Power BI is an excellent tool for:
- Automating the process of data extraction and visualization
- Building intriguing and interactive reports
- Improving the distribution and collaboration of data across your organization
In short, Microsoft Power BI can help you accelerate your journey towards making data-driven decisions. If you want to learn more about Microoft Power BI, find information here.

Power BI or not – How Do I Select the Best-Fit Tool for My Organization?
Selecting a business intelligence & analytics tool for your organization can be a complex and confusing task. Especially, if your organization has no previous experience working with a modern front-end BI tool. As you can see above, there are plenty of options and even though Microsoft Power BI is the current market leader, it is not necessarily a great fit for your purpose.
Doing Your Due Diligence
So, before you make your final decision, we recommend looking into several tools and doing a dedicated tool assessment to evaluate the fit-for-purpose.
