To help our Armed Forces Veterans looking to improve their resume or the work-displaced find their next career, PowerPivotPro and Microsoft are teaming up to provide a near-free day of training on Data Analytics with Power BI. To register please see: https://avisingh.eventbrite.com
A lot of people think the Power BI team is strictly focused on the visualization of data, but actually Power BI sits within a larger organization called Business Application Platform Innovation (BAPI) whose charter is to not just make data actionable through visualization, but also to simplify the automation and acquisition of that data. To that end the team has built Microsoft PowerApps for acquisition and Microsoft Flow for automation. On November 7, 2016, we’ll be hosting a webinar to announce Microsoft Flow General Availability. In this webinar, Group Program Manager Stephen Siciliano will show how Microsoft Flow is an easy-to-use product that helps you set up automated workflows between your favorite apps and services. You can synchronize files, get notifications, collect data, and much more. For preview customers already familiar with Microsoft Flow, Stephen will also cover the changes for release and how you can take advantage of using Microsoft Flow for production applications.
Power BI is a fantastic data visualization, transformation, and discovery product, but it’s not designed for “Big Data”-scale datasets. Meanwhile, Azure HDInsight is an impressive cloud-based Hadoop and Spark distribution that works at scale, but it isn’t designed to be friendly for business users the way Power BI is. In this webinar, Andrew Brust will show how you can leverage the scale of HDInsight and the ease-of use of Power BI with Datameer, part of the Azure HDInsight Application Platform. If you’re a Power BI fan, and you want to do Big Data analytics without learning the ins and outs of Hadoop and Spark, then don’t miss this webinar.
