FAQ

Is Birds BI an alternative to Power BI?

No, Birds BI works alongside Power BI. In simple terms, our solution extracts and organizes data from Microsoft Dynamics ERP or CRM systems and, when needed, integrates it with data from your industry-specific software.

This structured data is then made available in Power BI, complemented by our ready-to-use dashboards and a comprehensive data model. This enables you to create customized dashboards and reports that fit your specific needs.

Can Birds BI only extract from Microsoft Dynamics data in Power BI?

No, while we specialize in Dynamics and offer out-of-the-box connectors for it, our consultants can also extract data from other business software for use in Power BI.

This allows you to combine data from multiple sources with Dynamics ERP data to gain a complete picture.

How quickly can Birds BI be implemented?

If your organization already has a Power BI license, we can implement Birds BI within a few days. After that, you'll have access to approximately 85% of your Microsoft Dynamics data in Power BI and can take advantage of our out-of-the-box dashboards."

"Next, we assess each department's specific needs and incorporate the remaining 15% into our data model, so you can also use those specific datasets in your reporting.

Will Birds BI also work with Microsoft Fabric?
