Overview

What is Microsoft Power BI?

Microsoft Power BI is the world’s leading business intelligence platform. It connects to virtually any data source — Business Central, Dynamics 365 CRM, Excel, SQL and 100+ more — and transforms that data into beautiful, interactive dashboards that update in real time.

Stop spending hours building spreadsheet reports that are outdated the moment they are shared. Power BI gives every decision-maker in your business live, accurate data on their screen.

Because we implement Business Central and Dynamics 365, we already understand your data model deeply — so we build dashboards that reflect how your business actually runs.

FAQ

Common questions about Power BI.

Do we need Business Central to use Power BI?

No. Power BI connects to over 100 data sources including Excel, SQL Server, Salesforce and Google Analytics. However, if you use Business Central the integration is seamless and delivers exceptional value from your ERP investment.

How is Power BI different from Excel reporting?

Excel reports are static. Power BI dashboards are live, interactive and automatically updated from your source systems. They are accessible from any browser or mobile device with no file management needed.

What does Power BI cost?

Power BI Pro is $10/user/month. Power BI Premium Per User is $20/user/month. Many Microsoft 365 plans already include a version of Power BI. Contact us to check what you already have access to.

How long does a Power BI project take?

A focused project of 3–5 dashboards typically takes 2–4 weeks. A full analytics rollout across multiple departments takes 6–10 weeks depending on data complexity and number of sources.
