Transform your finance function with Power BI, Fabric, ChatGPT, Copilot -  9th September 2024

There is no doubt that the Microsoft data analytics and Gen AI platforms can help you re-imagine processes and re-invent an entire business function like Finance. But how? Whilst an interactive Power BI report (replacing the manual month end board pack for example) is an essential part of a solution, it is not likely to be enough by itself, especially in the age of stakeholders expecting Gen AI!

Instead you need to go through a methodical approach of understanding your data, capturing stakeholder requirements (functional and non functional!), using these to design a star schema semantic model, developing data engineering processes to shape and clean data, enriching your model with measures and metadata and then designing prompt engineering to train Copilot/a custom RAG model on your data!

That's a lot of work! Fortunately, Copilot and ChatGPT can help with every single step once you're working in the AI Powered platform of Microsoft Fabric!

In this session Rishi will show an example of Income Statement reporting being taken through this process, all with minimal code and just enough effort to make this an example use case that can be completed in days and weeks rather than months and years

Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) - What is Microsoft Fabric and why should I care? -  1st Feb 2024

In this webinar attended by nearly 1,000 Chartered Accountants, Rishi showed how you can use this Microsoft Fabric to perform Enterprise level data shaping/cleaning, modelling and visualisation all from within the same Power BI (and Excel!) environment that many are already used to.
 
Whether you’re proficient with using languages such as SQL or Python for data analytics, or you prefer the low code options of Power Query and Excel Pivot tables, Rishi showed how in either scenario you can leverage the power of the “lakehouse” in Microsoft Fabric. This data in OneLake can be the single, governed copy of your finance data across the Enterprise that is ready to be queried and analysed by co-pilot.
 
By the end of this webinar you will understand how this allows the finance team to become “IT enabled rather than IT reliant”. This is achieved by being able to self-serve on not just the visualisation layer but on the full end-to-end spectrum of Enterprise data analytics.
 
Key Benefits:
 
1.Gain an understanding of the seven key product experiences in MS Fabric - Data Factory, SQL Data Warehouse, Data Science, Data Engineering, Real Time Analytics, Data Activator and Power BI - and how they all work together.
2.Explore how all of these tools work off the same copy of the data eliminating the need for data movement and working across different environments
3.Identify the skills you need in the finance team to leverage the capabilities of Microsoft Fabric (including Generative AI!)

Additional Update: There was lots of engagement any many questions during the webinar that we didn't get time to answer, so RIshi wrote up a follow-up article on the ICAEW website with a written response to some of the questions- Read it here!
