Self-Service Analytics: Exploring Your ERP Data for Maximum Insights
In the era of digital transformation, our jobs are overflowing with data like never before. And that’s a good thing! Because more data improves decision making.
But it’s also intimidating, because our systems (and our lives) can become so saturated that the data is difficult to manage.
Many professionals get overwhelmed spending too much time manually building reports or digging up insights while trying to keep up with day-to-day tasks.
It does not have to be that way.
Microsoft Power BI connects hundreds of data sources, including your ERP database, into a single solution that makes it easy to design refreshable reports, ad-hoc analysis and impressive visualizations.
With Power BI, anyone can access the data they need, anytime they need it.
While Power BI is obviously compatible with Microsoft solutions and applications, it also integrates with virtually any database powering non-Microsoft ERP applications like Quickbooks, Netsuite, SAP and more.
Connect ALL your data sources
With your data in one place and always up-to-date, you can start viewing your data on-demand. In addition to connecting your data from critical business systems like ERP, Power BI connects to hundreds of other data sources like Google Analytics, Excel, SharePoint lists, MailChimp and much more.
Design interactive, sharable, all-in-one dashboards with ease
Present data in ways your ERP reporting tools can't. Beyond any chart or graph format, Power BI provides interactive and engaging data visualizations, and even animates your data over timelines, such as month-over-month, and other data ranges.
Visualize your data anywhere, on any glass
With Power BI Mobile, your critical data can be accessed anywhere, anytime, allowing you to always be in the know and to quickly respond to trends that need attention.

Natively connects to hundreds of different data sources
