One of the most overlooked but the most critical aspect of Power BI implementation. We discuss the different aspects and approaches as well as best practices of Power BI Security
Cloud Adoption & Governance
To realize the benefits of cloud: the innovation, the agility and fast iteration speeds, reduced costs and efficiency, we need a plan. Otherwise we risk failures, breaches, highers costs, and will not be able to leverage the innovation that attracted us to cloud in the first place. That plan is a Cloud Adoption Framework. It is a strategy to address the challenges around initially adopting the cloud, as well as the ongoing challenges maintaining our cloud landscape as it grows and evolves. This session articulates those challenges in clear, buzzword-free language, with practical advice and real-world scenarios.
Architecting for Azure
The basic challenge of any architecture is the translation of business requirements and technical requirements into a viable architectural solution. Luckily there are few techniques that can help us achieve that. In this session we would take a look at different approaches to architecting a solution for Azure.
