Power BI is a business analytics service that provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities that allow the USF community to view and create reports and dashboards. Data is used from multiple University of South Florida sources to provide reports that inform data-driven decisions. Reports for data out of GEMS, FAST, Archivum, and Health Banner may be shared with you based on your role at USF.
Everyone who has access to Microsoft 365 provided by USF have the ability to use and download Power BI.
