Media Fusion Boosts Power BI Implementation Support

In an effort to promote data analysis and visualization using Microsoft Power BI, Media Fusion, based in Osaka, Japan, is taking significant steps to bolster its support for businesses and educational institutions. The company is currently offering a free Research IR Template, designed to integrate with its Faculty Performance Management System, specifically tailored for universities and research institutions. However, the template’s features, based on common functionalities of Power BI, can be adapted for a variety of corporate settings as well.

Recently, Media Fusion has also made available tutorial videos to guide users through the setup and utilization of these templates, allowing organizations to leverage Power BI's powerful data analysis capabilities. These resources can be accessed easily through the company’s official webpage, providing an ideal starting point for anyone looking to enhance their understanding of business intelligence tools.

The Significance of Power BI

With the growing demand for efficient data analysis and rapid decision-making in business environments, the importance of Business Intelligence (BI) tools has surged. Since its introduction in 2015, Microsoft Power BI has drastically lowered the barriers to entry, both in terms of cost and usability, leading to its adoption by approximately 375,000 organizations globally, including 95% of Fortune 500 companies, as per Microsoft's reports.

Media Fusion recognized early on, during a time when there was scant Japanese information about Power BI, the potential impact of BI tools. Prior to Power BI, organizations often relied on Excel for data handling and had to resort to programming for complex analyses due to the high costs associated with traditional BI solutions. This drove Media Fusion to focus its efforts on making Power BI more accessible, spearheading initiatives since 2018.
