We love Power BI

Updated: Oct 26, 2023


Why do we love Power BI?

UNEX has always been data driven because figures beat words. But Microsoft Excel has its limitations, even the newest version with Power Query and Power Pivot. Microsoft Power BI is the ideal tool to step into Business Intelligence.


Key benefits of BI tools are:

  1. Combining data from all different kind of sources to gain new insights

  2. Self-service drilldowns enables people to think more about data

  3. Automated data reload saves time that controlling experts can use for more valuable tasks

  4. Visuals are easier to read than tables and direct the user to critical developments quickly

  5. A solid user right management enables one unique database for the whole team

We have been using Microsoft Power BI for years as part of our analysis in sales and pricing projects. And once our clients have experienced the benefits of Business Intelligence, they asked us to extend the analysis to measure even more success factors: production effectiveness, financial KPI, parameters within Human Resources and so on.


Since three years we offer Business Intelligence based projects with Power BI as the key component. Power BI often stays with our client as a central reporting tool. It constantly pulls data from SAP, SQL, time-keeping systems, websites and more with an automated refresh. This is not only saving tons of time but also avoids errors that previously have been caused by (stupid) copy/paste or manual pivot activities.

We believe that Microsoft Power BI already has establish itself as the standard BI tool. It has outrun competitor products such as Tableau or QlikView.


Take a look at our showcase of Power BI projects(…) from different industries and topis in the UNEX Analytics section. We encourage you to get familiar with Power BI and please feel free to contact us for more information and support.
