Power BI from Microsoft – part of the Power Platform suite – allows organisations to create rich interactive reports that empower users to gain deep insights into their organisation operations. Many organisations are familiar with the Power BI Pro (or Premium) desktop development process and the ability to upload reports into the Power BI Service so they can be shared.
The Power BI Service is provided as part of the Power BI Pro (or Premium) licences and provides everything required to share reports to users inside your organisation. This includes the compute resources required to render the interactive reports, known as ‘shared capacity’.
Building a truly data-driven organisation requires your Power BI interactive reports to be shared with internal and external users. Power BI Embedded is an Azure resource that provides the necessary compute resource (nodes) to render your reports as your users interact with them.
Binokula works with a Microsoft product ‘Power BI Embedded’ to enable you to share reports with who and however you want. Binokula is a SaaS product that makes report sharing simple, secure, and scalable.
Binokula and Power BI together provide a very cost-effective solution for your report sharing requirements. The benefits of a solution that uses a Power BI Embedded node are:
Why share capacity when you can deliver beautifully rendered dashboards and reports with speed and reliability at scale.
Investment in Power BI Embedded is approximately $1 USD per hour. Since you host your Power BI Embedded node, you can turn it on and off with Azure. Retain control of report access times ensuring capacity is available exactly when needed.
All your data is stored securely within your Azure environment.
Binokula lets you share your insights with the world. Take your Power BI capability further.
Binokula Instant is now available as a subscription app with automatic deployment, via Microsoft’s Marketplace: AppSource and Azure.
For this product, Binokula creates and hosts Embedded Capacity on your behalf.
Binokula was created by Stellar Consulting Group, an award-winning Microsoft Gold Data Analytics Partner. We are here to help businesses succeed by empowering their affiliate networks with greater knowledge and insight.
As big fans of Power BI, our initial version of Binokula was “Binokula for Power BI” to add important functionality that allows companies to securely share Power BI reports beyond their firewalls with ease. The future for Binokula is to allow the publishing of reports created by other popular reporting toolsets.
