Microsoft Power BI is a collection of business intelligence tools offered as software as a service. With Power BI, you can analyze business data in the cloud, process the results graphically and share them easily with other people on any device. The analyses allow you to monitor your own business processes and the success of the company. The findings help to make informed decisions on the basis of current data.
You can use different databases, web services and files as data sources. The Power BI system always provides the presentation of the most recent data from different sources and their appropriate formatting. Different gateways are available to link local or cloud-based databases.
