Overview:

Microsoft has differentiated itself for many years as the company that not only sells software, but software that works well together. For example, many companies sold suites of office productivity software, but none sold software that worked as well together as Microsoft Office. We continue that legacy today with Power BI, the leading BI software in the industry, and the integration story is improving, working well with Dynamics as well as leading 3rd party software packages, such as Salesforce!
