Today’s Convergence conference was squarely aimed at both enterprise and business customers, with a focus on productivity and the Internet of Things. Amid many announcements which dealt with cloud computing and data analytics, came the news that a preview for PowerBI is now available for users.

A powerful tool for analyzing data, PowerBI compiles information from a number of different sources, including Google Analytics, Microsoft Dynamics Marketing, Zuora, Acumatica and Twilio, into an easy to read format, making use of a minimal design and simple graphs. With the new preview comes new connectors, dashboards and reports for the service, expanding its capabilities significantly. Microsoft has released a video detailing these changes, which can be seen below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
