Power BI is an advanced data visualisation tool
Take data from a wide range of Microsoft and third-party data sources and transform it into stunning and insightful visuals that help you make better sense of analytics and performance.
Power BI can help organisations cut through their numbers, turning datapoints into meaningful visuals that are both easier to understand and allow for further trend analysis.
Organisations that use advanced analytics capabilities are twice as likely to be in the top quartile of financial performance within their industry. So what are you waiting for?
Market-leading Business Intelligence
Acknowledged by Gartner as the leading solution among Analytics and Business Intelligence platforms, Power BI can transform your data into easy to understand visuals.
From a map of your client base that can help you plan your field service delivery, to the exact impact of marketing spend on sales results, Power BI is the easy way to view and understand multiple and complex datasets.
Akita can provide solutions as cloud service, or on-premises using Power BI Report Server. It can be used with practically any data source you may have. It particularly excels at getting more from a CRM or ERP system, whether that’s Dynamics, Salesforce, or pretty much any other platform you can think of.
Answers At Your Finger Tips
Users can soon find useful trends in unlikely data set comparisons. In turn, this can help organisations to make smarter decisions about the way they operate.
More than just showing trends, Power BI can help you dig further into them. Rather than just static reports, it allows you to click through levels of data, change variables and add conditions, with results available immediately.
Plus, Power BI reports can be incorporated into a range of other platforms, including SharePoint, Power Apps and even Word documents.
So when you need to compare EMEA sales performance to that of the North America division for Q1 over the last 3 years, don’t cry into a spreadsheet – reach for Power BI.
Power BI For Accounts Software
While accounting software may be excellent at managing payments, many platforms lack the analytics capabilities that organisations require. This means manual reports need to be generated for organisations to get the answers they need, wasting hundreds of hours each year.
Power BI can be used with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks and other platforms to give you the reporting you need instantly. From P&L data to income statements, you can get up-to-the-minute data from your accounting platform formulated in the way that you want it. And there’s the option to drill down further into data with just a few clicks.
As well as being available for finance teams, reports can also be shared directly with investors, directors or whoever needs to see them. And with its data visualisation benefits, Power BI can enhance your forecasting capabilities.
