Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft BI

We currently have limited use of Power BI within our IT and accounting departments for relaying reporting information. We use Power BI to create an efficient interface for our executive team to gain access to vital sales information from our restaurants in a concise, detailed manner as opposed to our traditional Excel spreadsheets. IT uses Power BI to track purchasing as well as within our help desk department.
  • Great for translating numbers in graphics that are easy to understand and manipulate for anyone with no technical expertise
  • Additional training and tutorials that exist with Power BI as users are working with it would be beneficial.
Well Suited:
Reporting numbers for accounting to an executive team that can be displayed and referenced frequently.
