Accurate and timely information is indispensable for any business owner in making informed decisions. Business leaders measure the success of their organization by comparing it against a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI). You can easily track and visualize your KPIs using a business intelligence tool that you can integrate with your existing financial management system.
Such is the case of Microsoft Power BI, a self-service business intelligence tool that lets you discover insights and perform critical analysis of your business data. It’s powerful on its own, but it becomes even better when integrated into your other financial management application such as your Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly NAV).
