»» Collaborate from anywhere.

A user doesn’t need to be glued to the desktop

to collaborate. Assuming that you have the correct permissions, you can
collaborate with your team using live data to produce new outputs, including
reports, dashboards, and KPIs.

Figure 3-3 illustrates a list of recent reports and dashboards saved to Power BI Pro
and accessed using Power BI Mobile. The dashboard titled NAICS lists all contracts
issued by four government agencies in fiscal year 2020 and 2021. The data can be
updated in real time from the data source, if necessary.

Working with Power BI Report Server

Some organizations  — government agencies, healthcare institutes, and finance
operations, for example — cannot risk their data being available in a shared data
repository. To protect sensitive data while using Power BI, Microsoft developed an
on-premises alternative for Premium Capacity users, called Power BI Report
Server. Users can use their hardware to host the Power BI platform. The offering
allows users to publish and share Power BI reports and native SQL Server Report-
ing Services outputs within the confines of an organization’s firewall.
