Case Study: Visio Visuals in Power BI for a Theme Park Operator
How does a theme park operator put data in the hands of front line workers? By visualizing it in a context the workers already know. A collection of charts and graphs on a BI dashboard can be useful, but without context you’re likely to miss key insights. For example, the red bars on a hospital’s environmental monitoring dashboard may alert you that a problem exists, but when you can click the red bars and see the exact location of the problem on a floor plan, you can formulate an immediate response. Similarly, when a dashboard includes a network diagram that shows real-time server status and you can click a failed server to see the data required to initiate a fix, you’re two steps ahead. How do you achieve this level of insight? There’s no better way to add context than to enhance Power BI reports with floor plans, network diagrams, process maps, or org charts created in Visio. The session will include multiple Visio/PBI examples from a current project for a theme park operator.
