challenges
possible risks you can face
If at least of those statements is true for your organization, Power BI Governance is the right answer to address those challenges.
why power bi governance?
Having a large-scale Power BI deployment in the enterprise level organization might lead to natural troubles with the efficient maintenance and the full adoption of the platform. The promise of the citizen development approach has an inherent risk that without proper governance and guidance, freedom to create reports might lead to risk related to data security, performance drop, data quality, consistency issues, and increased IT upkeep cost. Without proper Governance performance problems, lack of proper control, rework, and licensing cost increase becomes a possible threat.
challenges
possible risks you can face
If at least of those statements is true for your organization, Power BI Governance is the right answer to address those challenges.
Upkeep cost is rising
Uncontrolled influx of entities increasing upkeep cost - unused workspaces, lack of standards, obsolete content & data trustworthiness problems.
Your data is not secure enough
Exposure to risk in the areas of security and compliance and potential risk of exposure or publishing confidential/PII data. Also, inability to comply with security & privacy requirements.
Previously done job can’t be utilized again
Lack of standardization or repeatability and non-existent documentation, which leads to the problems with communication and sharing lessons learned across business units.
Licenses are overused
Broad data access leads to inefficient queries and performance problems, and unnecessary use of licenses.
Unwanted data duplication
Unnecessary costs due to rework and duplication of the same information. Policies, standard, and processes are duplicated, duplicative, inconsistent, and confusing.
Time and cost consuming upkeep
Additional effort and upkeep for your IT Teams who will eventually takeover self-developed reports that have been created with limited supervision and not according to standards.
