Summary

In this chapter, we were introduced to business intelligence and its key concepts. Then, we took a broad look at the Power BI ecosystem. Finally, we explored some more specific capabilities of Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service. Because Power BI is all about business intelligence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to understand Power BI without first understanding the broader context of making informed business decisions. Understanding the full scope of business intelligence and the Power BI ecosystem will help you understand the context in which the Power BI technologies covered in this book are applied.

In the next chapter, we will dig deeper into the methodology and process for Power BI projects within corporations and set up the example business intelligence project used throughout the rest of the book.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
