What is Power BI?

Power BI is a leading self-service business intelligence platform empowering users to collect, transform, analyze, and visualize organizational data. It includes desktop applications, a cloud-based service, and mobile apps for Windows, iOS, and Android. Quickly build interactive reports and dashboards to unlock actionable insights.

Since its 2016 launch, Power BI has become a top self-service BI tool, rapidly adopted across industries due to its deep integration with other Microsoft services.

Why is Self-Service BI Important?

Self-service BI empowers business users to create reports and insights tailored to their needs – without relying solely on IT. However, this approach necessitates addressing challenges like maintaining data quality, data consistency, and effective data governance.

Throughout this course, we'll explore these challenges and provide strategies to balance user autonomy with effective Power BI administration.
