Digital Transformation: Insight to Action - The Role of Power BI in the Modern Data Platform

In this session we will explain where Power BI sits within an enterprise data platform. As Microsoft continues its rapid development of the product and expansion of its feature set, the best way to position the product within a data warehouse solution can be confusing.  We’ll provide an overview of the features of Power BI and how best to make use of them within your organisation.
