Power BI is a Microsoft analytics tool that converts unstructured data into a visually compelling story. It consists of the Power BI Desktop, the SaaS Power BI Service, and several mobile apps (iOS and Android compatible).
There is more data in the world than we can use. Every organization is bombarded with data about processes, products, operations, customers, and everything else. If it has a digital footprint, it is somewhere out there.
The more we can learn from consumer behavior data, the more accurate our predictions will be. We’ll need the right tools for the job. This is where Microsoft Power BI plays a role.
