Questions are important because we live in the Information Age. But all of the information that bombards us through the IoT (Internet of Things), the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), sensors, and countless other sources, is only worthwhile if we can parse it and ultimately use it to our advantage in an organized way.
That’s what Microsoft Power BI does for us, along with the other tools that are incorporated in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Power Platform and integrated into your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP.
