Projekt oder Produkt – die Legende vom BI Samurai | Power BI or DIE mit Pascal Kiefer
September 25, 2023
Zusatzprodukte in Power BI entstehen aus Projekten, wenn man sich weigert, zu akzeptieren, dass Sachen unmöglich sind. HTML-Visuals von BI Samurai bringen Web-Technologie in Power BI.
Pascal gibt einen Ausblick, was sonst noch mit Custom Visuals möglich wäre, z.B. PDFs anzeigen und sieht Power BI als ganzheitliche Plattform, die viele Funktionen vereint.
Er gibt einen spannenden Einblick, was es braucht, um externe Visuals zu erstellen und erzählt, dass Wartung am meisten Aufwand macht.
Außerdem redet er mit Artur über Monitoring von Power BI Arbeitsbereichen, wie es umgesetzt wird und warum es wichtig ist.
Pascal ist Geschäftsführer der BI Samurai GmbH mit Sitz in der Schweiz. Das BI Samurai Team implementiert Power BI Lösungen für Kunden aus aller Welt. Bei Power BI Themen gibt es nichts, was BI Samurai noch nie gesehen hat. Außerdem entwickelt BI Samurai eigene Custom Visuals für Power BI, allen voran die beliebten HTML VizCreator Visuals.
