Power BI and Workplace from Meta - Better Together!
So, now that you know a little more about Power BI, let’s take a moment to dive into a “day in the life” scenario that can help you understand the better together story with Power BI and Workplace from Meta.
Louisa is a Communications Manager with AB Corp, a multi-national company with ten locations across Canada, the USA, and Europe. To help bring everyone together, even though they are geographically separated, the company has been utilizing Workplace from Meta for all their internal communications.
Louisa’s been tasked to track engagement across Workplace from Meta – from Groups, to News Feed, to Live Video, and more. The organization wants to make sure that their people are genuinely committed to their work and have made “people analytics” a new priority for the organization to track.
Compiling the data into an Excel report is lengthy, time-consuming, and, even less ideal, Louisa knows that by going this route, she’ll have to recreate, or update the report each month.
But Louisa’s got an ace up her sleeve – Power BI.
