As a business or line of business owner, you may be asking yourself questions like these:

• Can I view in real time the company’s performance against sales and revenue targets?
• What is the most helpful and efficient way to report on business activity and performance?
• What tools are available to identify trends and predict future resourcing requirements and performance against objectives?
• How can I leverage all of the data I collect in my business to gain meaningful insights into how my business is performing?

Microsoft Power BI can provide ideally solutions for you.  Power BI provides cloud-based BI (business intelligence) services, known as "Power BI Services", along with a desktop based interface, called "Power BI Desktop".
