Speed of Thought: Optimize Power BI for Data-Driven Decision Making

Microsoft Power BI is a great tool for developing a wide variety of reporting and dashboard capabilities. It gives your line of business owners a way to quickly access key business data that empowers them to make real-time revenue-impacting decisions. But without quality data powering those dashboards, their actions are only as good as the information that drives them. To ensure that every member of your organization’s leadership team can make smart, fast, and effective decisions, you need to ensure your data quality and governance measures are effectively in place. This webinar will discuss the triple constraint of cost, performance, and usability decisions that must be considered, as well as the performance engineering patterns that can be applied to optimize the efficiency of the platform.
