Learn more about Microsoft’s Power BI — a powerful business analytics solution that brings your data to life with interactive dashboards and reports.
Law firms collect a lot of data in a lot of different places but it can be difficult to analyse that data through one lens and to share information and insights consistently and securely.
The reports available within practice management systems are limited and difficult to customise. They provide huge amounts of detail but they are difficult to read at a glance.
Power BI, a product that you may already own through Office 365, can provide a solution. It allows you to create customised, high-level, interactive, visual and intuitive reports, based on a variety of data sets.
This session will cover:
- Why business intelligence is so important and why practice management systems aren’t always enough
- What the Power BI product actually is, how it works with Office 365, what’s free — what isn’t and how reports are delivered
- How Power BI can connect to a variety of data sources (including practice management systems)
- A walk through example reports, delving into the functionality and the interactive user experience that Power BI provides
