Power BI
The technology
Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform: source connections, semantic modelling, and reports and dashboards shared through the Power BI service and Microsoft Fabric.
Deploying a first report is quick. The difficulty comes at scale: proliferating datasets, KPIs calculated differently from one report to another, access management, capacity costs and uneven adoption across business units.

Frequently asked questions
Power BI: FAQ
How long does a migration to Power BI take?
Duration depends on the number of reports, their complexity and the number of users. An initial scoping inventories the estate, groups redundant reports and proposes a batch plan.
Power BI or Microsoft Fabric?
Power BI is part of Microsoft Fabric. The choice is mainly about scope: reporting only, or a complete data platform (ingestion, storage, transformation) on the same foundation.
