More and more business groups at Microsoft use Power BI to generate insights and drive data-based decision making. To keep up with the modern pace of business and a workforce that is always on the go, interactive Power BI data needs to be available to view and share from any device, anytime, anywhere. To extend the visualization capabilities of Power BI and improve the user experience, the BI team at Microsoft created innovative solutions for Android, iOS, and Windows devices that provide an optimized dashboard and reports for mobile devices.
Before Power BI mobile apps, developers had to create individual BI applications for specific devices and scaled down for smaller screens. Even though data was hosted on a SharePoint site, it didn’t mean that data was viewable, manageable, and flexible enough to be accessed from a handheld device.
It took a long time to create special views and custom applications, and the result often didn’t include inherent data management capabilities. Users might be able to view red/green/yellow alerts on their mobile device, but they could not effectively work with the underlying data.
