Once again I attended Tableau's Users Conference, along with 17,000 other attendees, affectionately self-referred to as "data nerds". Pushing the envelope in data capabilities and access, Tableau introduced the "Ask Data" feature, allowing users to prose natural language queries and receive a response, along with new data preparation capabilities and other enhancements to help data analysts.

And it doesn’t help reduce the confusion when every tech vendor rebrands their products as AI. So, what do these terms really mean? What are overlaps and differences? And most importantly, what can this do for your business?

BI-Survey

S mall companies are more likely than large or mid-sized companies to implement BI tools and data warehouses in the cloud. Cloud BI components, by company size (number of employees), n=170. Furthermore, small companies are more likely to use the public cloud than private or hybrid clouds and tools to integrate cloud applications. This makes sense because many small companies may not have a legacy BI/data warehouse environment and internal data center or the IT staff that can build something in-

This is a question that comes up all the time. Power BI licensing is not complicated but a common challenge is that the person who sets up a new Power BI subscription and tenant within an organization is often not the same person who manages Office 365 or Azure service licensing for the organization. I’ve consulted on projects for several organizations where folks just didn’t know who to talk to or how to proceed after testing the water with Power BI.
