Microsoft Convergence is back

 It has been over 10 years since Microsoft hosted their Convergence conference for Microsoft business applications.  It is happening in Miami, FL on December 10th & 11th.  I am lucky to be attending and also presenting a session.  My session will be Using Power Platform to automate the accounting department in Dynamics 365 Finance.  Hopefully you will be attending and have an opportunity to join my session. I am posting my slides here, so if you attend and want the slides, you can get them here.  Using Power Platform slides   Even if you are unable to make the session, feel free to download my slides.

Power BI Premium per User - pricing finally announced!!!

A big change is coming to Power BI.  Microsoft announced Premium by User for Power BI a few months back, but they had not given any indication of the pricing until now.   Power BI Premium has been available for some time, but it is $5,000/P1 node.  For many small to medium business with less than 300 to 500 users, this has just been too expensive and they have been missing out on all of the premium features, including; Automated machine learning Cognitive services No code data prep at scale Deployment pipelines Pixel-perfect paginated reports XMLA read/write Trillions of rows of data Advanced security With this announcement of general availability beginning on April 2, 2021 at a price of $20 per user, per month, users are really going to have the opportunity to take their data to the next level. To learn mores about the new Power BI Premium per user license, check out Microsoft's blog.
