The world of data science is expanding at an exponential rate. The Port of San Diego has begun to utilize Power BI for data visualization tools to communicate progress on capital projects. Integration of Power Bi with enterprise software systems provides a customizable web-based view of project data analytics tool that offers a more user-friendly status review and reporting experience. Data is mined directly from two key software systems rather than digested through exports and reformatting. Find out how important easy visual reporting is to leadership, how sharing more improves confidence, and how you can start creating your own. Power BI makes it possible to quickly create visual measures to share with key stakeholders. During this session, a hands-on demonstration will take mundane data to visually pleasing dashboard in no time.
