Meeting @IDA - Synapse/PowerBI and News From MS Build

We are so lucky to have IDA to host a user group meeting in the center of Copenhagen.

The schedule will be like this

17:00 – Introduction to PBI Usergroup and the IDA Networks

17.15 – 18:15 - Supercharge Power BI with Azure Synapse Analytics – by Mathias Halkjær

Power BI is incredibly powerful at distributing and sharing data insights, through visualizations, across an entire organization. The democratization of Business Intelligence that Power BI brought with it is unparalleled. But Power BI on its own has its limitations and will often fall short, on its own, when designing end-to-end analytic platforms for enterprises. That’s where Synapse comes into the picture-for organizations, small and large, their current Power BI deployment can be supercharged with the capabilities of Azure Synapse.

In this session we will cover how to architect an end-to-end enteprise analytics platform so that we utilize the best of both worlds. The extremely versatile ETL capabilities of Synapse and the powerful data modelling in Power BI.
Along the way we will go through reasons to add-on Synapse to Power BI as well as some of the direct integrations between the two.

After this session you will leave with a much better understanding of how Azure Synapse Analytics can supercharge your Power BI deployment.
