Power BI Premium for Nonprofit & IGO: 1-Hr Briefing

We will provide you with a free, 1-hour briefing on how you can derive tremendous value from Power BI Premium.

As charitable giving habits evolve, data offers the shortest path between insight and action. But what tools empower analytics? Which metrics matter? And how do nonprofits measure the impact?

Data analytics, “the process of examining data sets to draw conclusions about the information they contain,” connects human intuition with data-driven insight to inform business strategy. While free tools are helpful, there is a limit to what they can do. More powerful tools, like Microsoft’s Power BI, can provide deeper trends and insights to help optimize not only donor data, but also business operations.

Power BI Premium supports larger data volumes (you can publish datasets up to 10GB) and supports greater performance (refresh data up to 48x per day). With Power BI Premium you can share your content with individuals outside of your organization to view all Power BI content including paginated and interactive reports.

There are several reasons why customers want, and even need, a Power BI Premium solution:

1. Per user and per capacity licensing options so organizations can choose the best package for their needs and automatically add capacity when needed (per capacity only)


2. The ability to scale beyond resource capacity with auto scale and pay-as-you-go pricing without experiencing drops in performance


3. Enables individuals to author, engage in advanced self-service BI and take advantage of all capabilities of premium without unlimited distribution


4. Huge dataset storage and no user quota: 100 TB of storage for each capacity provisioned


5. Higher dataset refresh rates: query performance of your reports and dashboards is protected from activity of other users in power bi service


6. Noisy neighbors isolation: 48 per day


7. Supports cloud architecture and on-premises. Get dedicated capacity nodes in cloud and Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) to be used On-Premises
