Organizations seeking to stay ahead of the competition recognize the importance of investing in analytics and visualization tools to deliver insights from their data. They need a modern, powerful business intelligence (BI) platform that will stand up as an industry leader and a vision that will meet the needs of tomorrow.
Industry analysts have taken note of the Microsoft efforts and as a result Gartner has positioned Microsoft as a Leader, for the ninth consecutive year, in the Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms.

The establishment of an updated modern BI and analytics platform definition for this year’s Magic Quadrant has significantly transformed the Leaders quadrant relative to its composition in previous years. In a market that is rapidly evolving with new innovation being introduced constantly, leaders in the BI market must demonstrate that they are focused not only on current execution but have a robust roadmap that will solidify its position as a future market leader, protecting the investment of today’s buyers.
The strong placement for Microsoft could only have been made possible through the hard work of many engineers and testers who listened over the years to users of Excel and Power BI to expand the capabilities and drive new benefits.
Just as businesses strive to find an edge against industry foes, Microsoft is determined to deliver modern BI and analytics solutions for all types of users and to remain a leader and visionary in a competitive BI platform environment. Microsoft and Power BI stand out — and the benefits pay off for users.
