Why SharePoint BI?

  • Information from many Sources: Find and work with information from databases, reports, business applications, and other external sources—all within the same environment.

  • Familiar Tools: Create and share information confidently using familiar, easy-to-navigate tools.

With the SharePoint BI Jump Start program, SimpleSharePoint empowers you to discover the right people and expertise to make better informed and agile business decisions. It will provide you with:

  • Accountability: Drive, manage, and measure success by using one version of data to align key metrics to specific business strategies.

  • Transparency: Provide the right people with trusted access to information when they want it.

  • Discoverability: Make it easier for your people to find the right information across data sources and content types using powerful analytics.

Power Pivot (SharePoint 2013-2016) is an SQL Server add-in for Excel 2010 and embedded in Excel 2013, 2016. The focus on Power Pivot is the modeling of the data for use within the visualization tools such as SharePoint Excel services.

With the addition of the diagram view, the ability to model data is even easier. Power Pivot is the in-memory data storage location which can be deployed to SharePoint or SQL Server Analysis Services – Tabular Model. While it is the oldest of the BI offerings, its capabilities are awesome as it brings the ability to mash up data and to model data to the desktop. The data can come from a variety of sources including relational databases, OData feeds, SSRS reports and more.

PowerPivot provides self-service Business Intelligence (BI) functionality for users of Microsoft Office.

  • Within the PowerPivot for Excel, you can bring data from virtually anywhere
  • Easily organize, connect, and manipulate tables of large data
  • Perform an in-depth analysis of your data--any way  you want to slice it
  • Use PowerPivot for SharePoint to share your workbooks across your team or publish them to the Web
  • Organize tables for the PivotTable tool in a relational way, freeing the analyst from the need to import data as Excel worksheets before analyzing the data.
  • The availability of a fast, space-saving columnar database that can handle huge amounts of data without the limitations of Excel worksheets.
  • DAX, a powerful programming language that defines complex expressions on top of the relational database. DAX allows you to define surprisingly rich expressions, compared to those that are standard in Excel.
  • Amazingly fast in-memory processing of complex queries over the whole database.
  • The ability to integrate different sources and almost any kind of data, such as information from databases, Excel worksheets, and sources available on the Internet.

Here at SimpleSharePoint, we can help you with publishing your PowerPivot workbooks to SharePoint to great benefits:

  • You can slice and filter data in a server document in the same way that they do when using a local workbook in Excel.
  • PowerPivot Gallery - a special-purpose SharePoint document library that provides a rich preview and document management for published PowerPivot workbooks as well as other document types.
  • Automatic data refresh for workbooks with the latest data at a regularly scheduled interval.
  • Data feed management: you can create and use data service documents in SharePoint. PowerPivot for SharePoint adds the content type for service documents that point to URLs that provide the feed.
  • Usage reporting on PowerPivot data access in Central Administration. SharePoint administrators can help you determine who is using your reports and how often.
