Microsoft Power BI lets businesses connect spreadsheets, databases, and cloud apps to build interactive dashboards and share live reports across their team.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOAPower BI is best for small businesses already using Microsoft 365 that need to turn spreadsheets and data into clear charts and dashboards. The free desktop version is surprisingly powerful, but you'll need to pay $10/user/month to share reports with your team — which adds up fast. If you're not already in the Microsoft world, tools like Google Looker Studio or Tableau might feel less clunky to set up.
