The team is also working on allowing users to drill into their data with the help of an intelligent chatbot, as well as deeper integrations with Microsoft’s Cortana virtual assistant in Windows 1. One of the most compelling of the smaller new features that are coming soon is the ability to bookmark pages in Power BI. That may sound like a rather random little feature, but you can also string these bookmarks together to tell a story without having to export these pages to Power. Point first. Beyond the individual features, though, what this all comes down to is that users now have more — and more flexible — ways of analyzing the daily torrent of data that most companies now generate without having to be trained data analysts. The goal of Power BI is to democratize data analysis and make it available to anybody in a company.
With the new Premium version, it’s now easier to disseminate all of this information across a company, even if the data has to stay behind a company firewall.
