We work with a variety of powerful tools, but my top picks are Databricks for advanced data processing and analysis, Azure Data Lake for scalable data storage and analytics, and Power BI Service for bringing data to life through dynamic visualizations.

We use Board, effective but not much flexible.

We primarily use two analytics tools: Microsoft Power BI and, in specific use cases, Alteryx. Both are effective for data analytics and visualisation, and they serve our purposes well.

We use Alteryx and Tableau.  Our data lake is in Snowflake.  We've eliminated the legacy solutions (OBIEE, Oracle Discoverer).

I agree with Melissa's statement about the structure and curation. In additional to that, sometimes the structure you use in your foundational might also drive your decision about which analytics tools you are going to use on top of that. Currently I am focusing most of my scenarios in Power BI (even migrating solutions like Tableau and Qlik) to leverage the opportunities from my Azure-driven data platform. In the other hand, for some SAP-related-only data cases, I am using SAC.

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time. 
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?

How do you think AI will disrupt business across industries? Add to my list: 1. Content creation 2. Photos and video production 3. Basic coding and debugging 4. Strategic analysis to be highly complimented

We are dealing with a specific issue in our VDI non-persistent environment, which operates using Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware). We are employing a hybrid join for authentication that integrates ADFS and Entra ID.   Here are the details of our problem:   1. **Environment**: VDI non-persistent using Omnissa Horizon 2. **Authentication Method**: Hybrid join with ADFS and Entra ID 3. **Issue**: Users are experiencing difficulties authenticating to Microsoft 365 apps within the virtual machine. The authentication process gets stuck in a loop when attempting to access the smartcard. I would appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have encountered similar issues or have a similar environment working successfully.

Do you have a person at your company specifically focused on payments (e.g., VP of Payments)?
