Microsoft announced a new specialization option for Power BI capabilities – Business Intelligence. Aligned to the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program, specializations are a way for partners to further differentiate their deep technical expertise across a set of priority scenarios with high customer demand. They build upon Solutions Partner designations and other certifications to set you apart from the competition and empower customers to confidently identify your ability to deliver results. Partners with the Business Intelligence specialization further differentiate their organization beyond an active Solutions Partner for Data & AI (Azure) or Solutions Partner for Business Applications designation with demonstrated knowledge, validated experience and capabilities, and documented success in supporting customer adoption of Business Intelligent solutions. Confirm your ability to help customers get the most out of their data and implement enterprise BI solutions with Power BI interactive reports, real-time dashboards, and powerful analytics.
