Business Intelligence and Data Analytics

Business Intelligence and Data Analytics are underpinning how modern businesses operate

For many organisations, data is one of the most important resources for helping to make business decisions, drive growth, and improve operational efficiency.

But how do you extract meaningful insights from vast and varied information that is often held in disparate systems across your organisation?

At Compete366, we turn your data into a powerful asset. Using Microsoft’s leading tools such as Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, we help you gain clear insights that drive more intelligent decisions. Our data and analytics services are designed to give you a competitive edge through reliable business intelligence and data analytics, all delivered via intuitive dashboards and scalable platforms.

Why choose Microsoft for data analytics and business intelligence?

Microsoft provides industry-leading data analysis software solutions that empower your business with:

Easy integration

Microsoft’s business intelligence tools work harmoniously with familiar applications like Excel, Teams, and SharePoint. This tight integration reduces implementation time and ensures data flows smoothly across your organisation, eliminating the need for complex third-party connectors.

Advanced analytics & AI capabilities

Microsoft invests heavily in AI and machine learning, embedding these features directly into its BI tools. Power BI’s AI visualisations and Fabric’s data engineering pipelines allow you to uncover hidden patterns, perform predictive analytics, and automate data preparation, helping you stay ahead of the competition.

Room for growth

Whether you’re a small start-up or a large enterprise, Microsoft’s cloud-based infrastructure on Azure adapts to your needs. You can begin with a modest setup and expand your data warehouse, analytics capabilities, or user licences as your demands grow, without the need for costly hardware investments.

Ongoing innovation

Microsoft regularly updates its BI products, introducing new features, connectors, and performance enhancements.

Manage data with Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric is a unified analytics platform that simplifies the entire data lifecycle. It brings together data engineering, integration, warehousing, real-time analytics, and data science into one seamless environment, eliminating the need to stitch together multiple tools or manage complex infrastructure.

At its core, Fabric consists of several integrated workloads, including:

By bringing everything into one environment, Microsoft Fabric reduces friction, speeds up development, and ensures consistent governance across your entire data estate. From ingestion to insight—all within a single, integrated workspace.

Visualise your data with Microsoft Power BI

Power BI is Microsoft’s powerful business intelligence tool that transforms complex datasets into clear, interactive visual reports and dashboards. It enables users across your organisation to make confident, data-driven decisions.

 

Power BI can work as a standalone solution or connect to a wide range of data sources; from Excel and SQL databases to cloud services. Its intuitive interface makes powerful analytics accessible to both technical and non-technical users. Learn more about our Power BI services. 

Using Microsoft Fabric and Power BI together – for ultimate Business Intelligence

While both Microsoft Fabric and Power BI are powerful in their own right, they work even better together.

Fabric acts as the data backbone—helping you gather, transform, store, and model data from across your organisation. Power BI then builds on top of that foundation, providing a clear, visual way to explore and present your data.

By combining these tools, you can:

In short, Fabric handles the data infrastructure; Power BI brings it to life.
