FAQ about the Power BI Control Room

The data is stored in an Azure storage account in the client's environment. The location of this account is defined by the client during the installation. We recommend setting up a storage account in the same location as the client's Power BI Service. You will be guided through this process since we will do the set-up together.

In rare cases, when clients don't have an Azure subscription, we can also host the data in our Azure environment. Even in these cases, the clients can choose in which country the data should be stored.

This is what the landscape looks like:

Setting up the Power BI Control Room takes some initial work on our side and the client's side. For that reason, we can't offer any free trials. But, we are more than happy to show you the features and functionalities of the Power BI Control Room in a live demo.

This is completely up to you. A license for the Power BI Control Room is for unlimited users.

No, the Power BI Control doesn't require a Power BI Premium capacity.

You will receive your license key after we have gone through the setup together. To request a license, reach out to us via email to support@bisamurai.com

Your subscription will be automatically renewed. You will receive emails about the process in due time.

Simply email our support or schedule a completely free Power BI Control Room demo session where we show you the report in action and answer all your questions.
