Learn how your nonprofit can harness big data and business intelligence with Microsoft Power BI.

Do you ever feel that processing and massaging your data is taking over your work life like kudzu? Conversely, have you been ignoring data that you know you could use, because it would take forever to set up to start tracking it correctly?

Microsoft has made its Power BI suite available at an affordable price for nonprofit organizations.  With minimal ramp-up, your organization can start to visualize and analyze your key data from all systems - including website and social media analytics, CRM, constituent communications platforms like Mailchimp and Constant Contact, and other data sources - in an easy-to-digest format.  

In this webinar we review the capabilities (and limitations) of Microsoft Power BI and how it can be used by nonprofits to better understand all types of data. Community IT Innovators is product agnostic - in this presentation we review without promoting adoption of Power BI, which many nonprofits already can access if they are using Office365, and share our experience to help you make an informed decision.

What is Power BI? From Microsoft "Power BI is a suite of business analytics tools that deliver insights throughout your organization. Connect to hundreds of data sources, simplify data prep, and drive ad hoc analysis. Produce beautiful reports, then publish them for your organization to consume on the web and across mobile devices. Everyone can create personalized dashboards with a unique, 360-degree view of their business. And scale across the enterprise, with governance and security built-in."

The presenter of this webinar, President and CEO Johan Hammerstrom, has always been interested in using technology as a force for good that can improve our world. He started at Community IT in 1999 as a Network Administrator.  Since that time, Johan has been a Network Engineer, a Team Lead, the Director of Services, Vice President of Services, Chief Operating Officer, and beginning July 2015 President and CEO. Working directly with over 200 nonprofit organizations, to help them plan around and use technology to accomplish their missions, has been one of the most positive and rewarding experiences of his life.
