Power BI Migration

Power BI is a business analytics tool developed by Microsoft for creating interactive reports and dashboards. While Power BI is not automatically included in Office 365, Microsoft seamlessly integrates Power BI with Excel and other Office 365 applications through various subscription plans that provide advanced features and capabilities.

On Demand Migration helps you migrate your Power BI assets from a source to a target tenant, with easy-to-use discovery, assessment and migration services.

In this chapter:

What We Migrate
