What is Microsoft Power Business Intelligence?

Helping you bridge the gap between strategy and technology, our business intelligence IT services will elevate your performance.

Business Intelligence (BI) is essential to consider if you want to transform your operations for digital markets. Known as the name given to an easily accessible set of tools that give insights into a company’s performance, BI is something that every IT team should have a clear view of.

We specialise in creating successful Microsoft IT infrastructures which allow companies of all sizes to operate using a globally recognised system that more than one million businesses use worldwide. By integrating this with our business intelligence services, we can provide your organisation with a clear view of all operations in the form of data evidence. Whether you want to focus on a particular area or are looking for an overall snapshot of performance, we can provide you with accurate content that helps inform business decision-making.

This also forms the basis of all technology architectures, as strategy and purposes can be woven into designs from day one. Not only does this provide you with a clear view of execution, but it also allows for ongoing scaled efforts to be successfully implemented using the correct IT operating systems.

What is the difference between Business Intelligence and Business Analytics?

Both forms of data provide unparalleled insights into company performance, but there are slight differences between the two.

Business intelligence refers to the overview that can be given to understand the entire landscape of business activity. Business analytics instead looks at just the data behind the findings. In contrast, intelligence applies the findings to your company strategy. The analytics side of things is purely quantitative, whereas business intelligence combines that with qualitative findings to provide a full view of historical, present, and future activity.

Business intelligence, therefore, draws conclusions from different analytics findings to ensure that companies can make better-informed decisions. When applied to IT support, companies like our own can integrate different intelligence markers into your IT infrastructures to ensure that relevant information can always be obtained.

Our unique configuration setup for companies is included within our Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Dynamics services. This means that we don’t just apply a one fits all solution to every business but ensure that applications are correctly configured for elevated technical performance. Our services for providing business intelligence information include the following:

  • The creation of succinct and powerful IT networks will allow essential information to be obtained for intelligence purposes.
  • Provision of reporting based on IT processes and bespoke company requirements. Our team of experts all have extensive experience in dealing with IT strategy, and the high quality of our reporting capabilities reflects this.
  • Data preparation for reports and unique requirements so that a mix of qualitative and quantitative information always backs any company presentations or business presentations.


No matter the size or background of your business, we can create a system for measuring performance that results in useful business intelligence data being available whenever you need it.

More than 64% of people say that business intelligence information improves efficiency and productivity. The benefits that your company stands to receive can be noticed from the operational level to global brand recognition, with each team member and department being able to work more wisely with the information provided.

You can also use the information to conduct more accurate competitor profiling to help set your business apart from the rest.

Improve employee experience within your business – With only 29% of UK employees saying they are completely satisfied in their roles, we think that every company should have this as a keep objective. You can use business intelligence data to give you valuable insights about your team’s performance, which can highlight any frustrations that they may be experiencing. The data can also make jobs easier for team members as they have accurate data and insights available to support their everyday tasks.

Identify trends which can relate to many departments, including marketing, supply chain, and sales – From planning standout marketing communications to making wiser purchasing decisions, the beauty of business intelligence data is that it can be used in different ways by all your teams. We work to configure your IT structures to ensure that any information you are going to need is being captured during everyday performance. This provides a clear link between your strategy and IT infrastructures.

Examine consumer behaviour and predict trends – Intelligence is also essential for improving the consumer experience. Not only can it support aspects such as cyber security and communication channels, but it also means that you have a clear view of behaviour. This allows businesses to operate more dynamically, with consumer psychology woven into every activity.

Every business stands to benefit from intelligence information. The information is not only essential for helping operations run smoother, but also for planning an informed strategy that has a better chance of success.

For small companies, this professional overview allows costs to be assigned much more wisely improving. It can also bridge the team member gaps that organisations may face by being able to provide insights that other departments may be required for. Larger businesses also stand to benefit as intelligence is essential for scaling operations and outperforming competitors.
