Business performance analytics as an SaaS solution:
By using BPA as a software as a service (SaaS) solution, Dynamics 365 customers can quickly and efficiently take advantage of advanced analytics. BPA improves decision-making and operational efficiency, and drives better outcomes. At the same time, it avoids the complexity of deep system integrations.
Business performance analytics as a DaaS solution with data warehousing:
BPA can also be used as a data as a service (DaaS) solution. By using BPA in this way, organizations can integrate its data models with their existing data warehousing infrastructure in Microsoft Fabric. This approach not only maximizes the value of existing data solutions but also positions businesses for future enhancements.
Included with Dynamics 365 Finance
BPA is an innovative reporting tool that is included as part of the Dynamics 365 Finance license. In addition to its comprehensive analytics capabilities, BPA uses shared Dataverse entitlements, including access to the data lake. Therefore, customers can seamlessly integrate and manage their data.
Data reporting capacity
Customers who use BPA are currently entitled to report on up to eight quarters of data. The volume of data is also constrained by the storage capacity of the A3 SKU for Power BI Embedded. Customers that can’t fit their data within the constraints of the Power BI A3 SKU should consider waiting for a future release, where additional data reporting capacity will be available. That future release will expand the data limits, so that larger data sets can be reported and analyzed.
Data refresh frequency
BPA allows for two data refreshes per day, at 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM (Coordinated Universal Time). More frequent refreshes will be available in the future, to ensure that customers can work with the most up-to-date information to meet their reporting needs.
