WHY POWER BI?
Power BI is a data gathering and analysis platform created
by Microsoft that provides rich, dynamic visualizations of
gathered data and a modern, reactive user interface. With
Power BI, users can create an analytic dashboard, allowing
them to intuitively adjust reports on the fly and structure
their data in ways that make sense to them. Managers can
make the most of their information from a single view of
real-time data in the Therefore™ system. Mobile access
through the Power BI app means users can take their
data with them and never be left in the dark.

TECHNOLOGY CONCEPT
Starting with Therefore™ 2016, this Therefore™ integration
will allow users to employ Power BI as a means to gain
current analytics of their company’s data. After configuring
a Power BI user account, a Therefore™ administrator can
easily create a Power BI data set by choosing a category
and the parameters that should be uploaded to the
Microsoft Power BI cloud. These parameters are then
automatically uploaded at regular intervals. The report
itself is easily created in Power BI using the robust, user-
friendly design tools provided by the platform. Reports can
be viewed in real time by accessing the Power BI app on
desktop or mobile, or by configuring the dashboard to be
visible directly in the Therefore™ Navigator.

Promoter Score, calculated from the customer feedback
survey, and a high ”first-time match rate” for invoices in the

service contract processes and notices a high number of
contracts pending signature. By filtering the data according
to country, she immediately notices where the problem lies.
