97% of the Fortune 500 uses Power BI, but most only use it for reporting purposes (read-only). However, when it comes time to get to work they resort to clunky solutions that are either: - Expensive (hundreds of thousands on SaaS tools like Anaplan) - Brittle (homemade Excel-based tools) - Slow (weeks or months to slowly iterate on a plan) I will resolve these issues for you by quickly creating forecasts, plans, budgets, and other models in Power BI with the power of write-back. After a decade in corporate performance management, I haven't seen anything as good as today's technology. I'll bring you up to the latest and greatest 2024 tooling in weeks, not months.
