    Product Overview

    Why Power BI for Australian Mid-Market Businesses?

    Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform — and for organisations already using Microsoft 365, it's the most cost-effective and widely adopted analytics solution available. It integrates natively with Teams, SharePoint, and Excel, and ThynkProcess extends that to SAP Business One and Salesforce — giving your leadership team a single source of truth across their entire business, accessible from the tools they already use daily.

    • Embedded in Microsoft 365: Share Power BI dashboards inside Teams, SharePoint pages, and Excel — no separate login.
    • SAP B1 Direct Connection: ThynkProcess builds certified Power BI data connectors from SAP Business One — finance, inventory, sales.
    • Power BI Service (Cloud): Publish dashboards to the Power BI cloud service — accessible from browser and mobile app.
    • Row-Level Security: Users only see data relevant to their role — auto-filtered by branch, department, or territory.
    • Affordable Licensing: Power BI Pro is included with Microsoft 365 E5 and available for as little as $14/user/month.
