EPC Group’s Solution:
After establishing a comprehensive list of business requirements, it became clear that a cloud-based Business Intelligence solution would be the most economical and sustainable solution for the school district. Upon reviewing possible solutions, the Nampa School District decided to go with an enterprise Microsoft Power BI deployment due to its easy-to-use user experience and superior level of security. Confidential Reports and proprietary data are safeguarded by Microsoft’s High Standards and Compliance for Data Security.
They recognized that by choosing Power BI, which is part of Office 365, it easily integrates with other apps within the Microsoft stack such as Excel, SharePoint and PowerPoint. This provides greater productivity for their users to easily pull the reports from Power BI and embed it to PowerPoint seamlessly for presentation.
Also, they would not need to worry about the future as all new features and updates are automatically delivered to them, without additional cost, making them future-proof and modern. This provides sustainability and confidence that they will not be left out with outdated technology.
