Learn how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Power BI can work together to accomplish your reporting initiatives.

Are you tired of underwhelming results from your business reporting tools? Did you think you were getting a dashboard, when all you got was a web based list? Microsoft Power BI is here to help! Microsoft introduced Power BI in 2014. In the beginning it was full of promise, but required some pretty solid technical chops to make it work. No more! With the introduction of Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, Power BI is now within the grasp of most end users.

So what makes Power BI different today? Microsoft has used the Power BI platform as the basis for most of the role centers and fact boxes found in Dynamics Business Central. What this means for you is that the engineers at Microsoft have simplified the connection and unlocked the potential for additional Power BI use for your company.
