Power BI Report Server for Nonprofit & IGO: 1-Hr Briefing

We will provide you with a free, 1-hour briefing on how you can derive tremendous value from Power BI Report Server (PBIRS).

As charitable giving habits evolve, data offers the shortest path between insight and action. But what tools empower analytics? Which metrics matter? And how do nonprofits measure the impact?

Data analytics, “the process of examining data sets to draw conclusions about the information they contain,” connects human intuition with data-driven insight to inform business strategy. While free tools are helpful, there is a limit to what they can do. More powerful tools, like Microsoft’s Power BI, can provide deeper trends and insights to help optimize not only donor data, but also business operations.

You can distribute reports behind your organization’s firewall and build on your On-Prem reporting infrastructure, knowing it is part of a comprehensive, cloud-ready solution.

There are several reasons why customers still want, and even need, an On-Prem solution to host Power BI Reports:

1. Complement the Power BI Service

PBIRS is useful for customers who want to have an additional choice for where to publish certain content and require that certain reports remain within the corporate firewall.

2. Highly Regulated Customers

For highly regulated customers not allowed to use the cloud-based Power BI Service, PBIRS offers an option for publishing and securing reports.

3. Integrate into existing investment in Reporting Services

There are many customers who have Reporting Services implementations. Existing content can be migrated to PBIRS without any loss of functionality.

Agenda

We will discuss and understand your current business insight goals in an open and collaborative conversation that will cover:

• Review of current BI state: you will quickly describe us the current state, where you want to go and constraints
