Presentation:
Transforming data analytics with Visio and Power BI
Power BI reports help you tell great stories by making your organization’s data visible and real. Visio diagrams help you communicate more effectively by providing visual representations of the real world and by depicting how things might look in the future. Too often, however, Power BI reports and Visio diagrams exist in isolation. What if you could combine the data connectivity and visualizations of Power BI (PBI) with the graphical context of a Visio diagram?
In this demo-filled session you’ll see a variety of use cases such as: empowering facility managers with data-driven floor plans; using HR data and an org chart to locate employees with specific skills or training; and leveraging inventory and sales data to adjust retail store layout. You’ll discover how easy it is to accomplish all of this using a web browser, which means you can create this magic on a Mac, a PC, or a tablet.
