Power Platform

Data and analytics
Power BI dashboards and reporting, supported by SQL datasets and enterprise analytics capability.
This required collaboration across architecture, security, cloud adoption, product and technical teams, business users, vendors and Microsoft support.

The engagement strengthened:
Cloud architecture
