In recent months, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about Power BI, the new cloud-centric BI front end tool set from Microsoft. Available to Office 365 SharePoint Online users, Power BI is a compelling new offering with advanced collaborative BI capabilities.
Power BI includes PowerPivot, PowerView, Power Map, 
and Power Query. While these tools were already in existence, now, with Power BI, SharePoint Online users are able to take advantage of mobile cross-platform reporting, on the fly dash-boarding and natural language querying, and also use new tools in Excel 2013 that support streamlined self-service reporting and analytics.
On Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 1 p.m. CST, join us for a complimentary webinar, Power BI for Office 365: Using SharePoint to Deliver Self-Service BI, to learn how you can leverage the advanced new self-service BI features coming soon via Office 365 and SharePoint Online. Andrew Tegethoff, a Microsoft BI architect at Perficient, will discuss:
- Excel Power BI tools: PowerPivot/PowerView/Power Map/Power Query
- SharePoint Online Power BI sites: Data Management Gateway (for connecting to on-premises data sources), uploading Excel content
- Power BI apps: Windows 8, Windows Phone
In the meantime, you can learn more by reading Andrew’s recent blog posts on Power BI, or visiting Microsoft’s dedicated Power BI website where you can actually preview the offering.
