Power BI Dashboarding with PSOhub

Good news for business analytics aficionados everywhere! PSOhub now seamlessly integrates with Power BI. You can now leverage your PSOhub project data in Power BI’s next-level dashboards. Power BI is one of the best visual business tools in the world. If you currently use Power BI to generate in-depth data reports, you’re in luck:

All your PSOhub project data– plus customer data from your CRM– can now easily integrate with Power BI. 

This means that you can now go above and beyond with reporting by uncovering insights from raw data that’s usually scattered at best.

Here’s how the PSOhub integration with Power BI Dashboarding is already benefiting our users.

Why Power BI?

Power BI by Microsoft offers businesses powerful analytics and most importantly, the ability to compare, combine, and contrast multiple stores of data to paint an insightful picture into what’s happening. Power BI lets you upload literally any and every kind of data related to your business. 

From there, Power BI helps you easily create graphs and charts with just a few clicks. These visual tools prove invaluable to managers and C suite, who can easily show owners and board members what’s happening within the business using countless metrics. 

Power BI also proves an asset for management and owners who want to present data-driven visuals to the team. Instead of boring minutia, team members can easily see how hard data affects the business on a more holistic level. This is possible with Power BI because it will pull data from any source you want it to and combine it with the data from your projects.

Benefits of Power BI

• One of the easiest and most powerful visual/reporting tools. Let’s face it, this is what Power BI is best at. Get detailed, accurate reports to present to management, owners, and team members, with less time and effort required. Power BI provides a robust solution, so you can quickly and easily upload multiple databases without issue. That means your project data, your HR data, your marketing data, all of it, can be uploaded and analyzed to tell a more holistic story about where the business currently stands.
• Tell the story you want with your (actual) data. Data storytelling is Power BI’s ultimate M.O. By combining multiple data stores, analyzing them, and reporting on them in visual formats, you’ll be able to unlock insights you might not have known existed. Once you become aware of patterns in the current data, you can then figure out if and how this plays into what you want to present. 
• Highly flexible. Power BI streamlines the reporting process for every single department of your business. As far as dashboards and visualizations go, there’s not much it can’t do. Power BI offers their platform in a desktop app and mobile app, so your team can see and create real-time reports 24/7, anywhere in the world. 
• Large and small businesses alike love it. Power BI used to be thought of as more of a tool for enterprise-level companies who want large-scale modeling capabilities. However, in the past couple years, small businesses have become a thriving client base for the platform. Small businesses and startups live and die by cash flow, and Power BI can help unlock data-driven secrets to help them get more of it. Plus, they charge a relatively low price for one of the best reporting tools available today.
