Today, let’s talk about Power BI Premium. Power BI Premium is an offering for Power BI. It’s an add-on for Power BI Pro. That means that you need to have a user with Power BI Pro in your organization. The reason for that is because all publishing of reports and creations of app workspaces, that’s all done with a user that has Pro.

So you can’t have Premium without having Pro. And that brings me to another item that I want to make sure you understand is that Premium is not something that you would assign to a user. It has nothing to do with the users themselves. Every user in your organization needs to have either a Free or a Pro license assigned to them in order to work with Power BI, in order to sign in and to use Power BI.

Premium is not something that you assign to users. So what exactly is Power BI Premium? Premium is really a way to have dedicated resources inside of your organization. Basically, think of it as having like a dedicated server for your workload.

This provides you with a set of resources that are dictated by the SKU that you purchase of Premium. And we’ll talk about that in a minute. But when you have this and you assign items to that Premium capacity, then you have those dedicated resources that you’re taking advantage of for your reports. Premium will also be a way for you to get other advantages as compared to the normal Power BI service. So an example of this is down the road you may see where you can have larger data set sizes than you can normally with Power BI. Right now, your data set size is limited to 1 GB.

That could be increased later on through having Premium in your organization. So I just mentioned Premium capacity. That’s a new term. Everything you have is in the context of what we call a capacity. So when you purchase Power BI Premium, you’re actually purchasing a Power BI Premium capacity node. So think of the capacity node as that’s the server that you’re buying. This is in contrast to the normal Power BI service where we call that Shared capacity. And so if you’re just a free or Pro user and you’re just using Power BI like normal, you’re in the Shared capacity model. And this means that you’re sharing the server, or the environment, with other users and possibly with other organizations that may be taking advantage of those resources to load balance. This is the Cloud after all.

Digital innovation is a very intentional strategy that is used by organizations to transform,and it rise creativity and growth mindset.but it also requires technology that is flexible and integrated. Our technology helps organizations digitally transform in four key areas,with your customers,your products, your operations,and your employees.

It starts with a Microsoft cloud and Microsoft azure as the most trusted and scalable platform that our customers can grow without limits. And then with Microsoft 365, we deliver the world’s leading productivity suite that enhances collaboration and creativity.then with dynamics 365, we deliver a full set of intelligent business applications that are integrated and extensible and enable your organization to digitally transform.and this is a pretty powerful set of technology that is available for our customers, and we’re seeing the results across many industries,across financial services, health care, manufacturing, and retail. These are just some of the customers that are using the powerful Microsoft technology to create competitive advantage and drive business results.

So at the core of our new strategy and at the digital transformation is to get significantly closer to our customers.we did a full customer segmentation analysis and understood that in terms of selling multiple services to customers,some of our clients were extremely poor at it,and so one of the key attributes of our strategy in leveraging the dynamics 365 platform is to really get much, much closer to our clients, so we established what we’re calling a strategic account management program where we actually bring multi disciplines into the table to really deep research on that industry as well as the sets of clients, both prospects and clients, and because of the platform, the power of the platform, we know so much more today than we ever did before about the industry, about that client, about who knows who in that organization because of the power of the integrated linked-in app, and it has, again, I hate to repeat myself, but it really has driven top line revenue over and above our expectations. I mean, we have what we had developed, we’ve exceeded that within the first eight months.
