Power BI Roadmap 2023, More Data Options

• The pace of Power BI updates is slowing as the team focuses on larger changes that address performance and data sharing issues.
• Performance, client, and data sharing updates strengthen Power BI as a hub for publishing data as well as reports.
• Changes increase where Power BI can be used but also add to the complexity of deployment and management.

Power BI, Microsoft’s business intelligence (BI) cloud service, is receiving updates that highlight the maturity of the service. The constant stream of updates has slowed as the team is focusing on more traditional updates, like expanding data management features to address large enterprise requirements, providing new external data-sharing options that only make sense when all participants are Power BI customers, and a migration option to help pull customers from the comfort of their on-premises deployments into Microsoft’s cloud.

This report touches briefly on key updates but focuses mostly on a summary of where Power BI is heading, new features in preview, and Microsoft’s long-term strategy for Power BI.
