Microsoft Power BI – the setup process

Step 1 Customize sources

The upstream systems from which your data is pulled are customized and connected to your BI system.
Step 2 Prepare data

Now it is a matter of bringing different files and formats into a uniform form. This step is performed by "ETL" - Extract, Transform, Load. A typical three-step process in the software industry.
Step 3 Collect data

A data warehouse is used to collect all your data and store it in one place, which you can implement separately or directly in Power BI. It is the core, where the evaluation of your data happens.
Step 4 Analyze

Now it's time to filter and evaluate the significant information from your data. This is done by multidimensional analyses, "data mining," and it provides business-relevant data that you can use for evaluation.
Step 5 Make an evaluation

Your data is now presented in the appropriate form, and you can evaluate it.
Step 6 Customize display

Numbers are good, graphics are better. That's why you use configurable Power BI dashboards or cockpits, such as the YAVEON Cockpits, to display your analyses clearly. For a particularly simple analysis, that is a pleasure to view.
