The Food & Beverage industry relies on specific data components, such as shelf life and the bill of materials. Understanding these values and their interrelationships with other data sets is essential.
BIRDS offers a streamlined approach to accessing these insights, seamlessly integrating this data with other key data from other systems.
As a result, you achieve a holistic view that enhances your in-depth analytical capabilities in Power BI.

The data access dilemma
Microsoft Power BI is an essential tool for data rich organizations.
The biggest challenge with Power BI is importing the right data. In most cases your desired set of Dynamics data is not readily available by default.
Importing data from other software and integrating it with Dynamics data is another aspect which is not available by default.
The best solution for this is to build an underlying data model.
For that you need serious technical knowledge.
Deep insights require data consistency
You want to ensure that the entire organization is looking at the same data, maintaining consistency in values at all times.
Deviations can lead to drawing conclusions based on incomplete or misinterpreted data.
The BIRDS data model serves as a repository for Dynamics data and, where necessary, merges it with data from other systems.
Values calculated through formulas are also integrated into the model.
This approach safeguards data consistency and accuracy, thereby enhancing the speed of reporting.
