As CIOs prepare for the next wave of digital transformation, they must demonstrate shorter-term business impacts from technology investments and achieve larger innovation goals that evolve the organization’s business model. But perhaps more importantly, they must learn from their previous big digital wins — and avoid repeating all-too-frequent mistakes that cause transformations to fail or lag behind expectations.

If you’re a fan of using Log Analytics for monitoring Power BI activity , then you may have noticed there’s some new data in the ApplicationContext column of the PowerBIDatasetsWorkspace table. Up until recently the ApplicationContext column only contained IDs that identify the report and the visual that generated a DAX query (something I blogged about here ); it now contains additional information on the type of Power BI report that generated the query and an ID for the user session

Research, outreach, reminders, and tracking all limit the time your sales team has to connect with prospects and solve their problems. And although email is an extremely effective communication channel, it’s also one of the most time-consuming. Email automation makes the job a lot easier — but your automated emails can’t waste the prospect’s time or come off as hollow or impersonal.

Generating revenue is especially challenging during a global economic downturn, placing more pressure on sales reps to widen their pipelines and increase their efficiency. One of the most important tools that sales reps can use to achieve this is the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).

Back in 2021 I wrote a post showing how you can link a DAX query generated by a Power BI report in Log Analytics to a visual in a Power BI report. In that post I showed how you can get the unique IDs for each visual in a report using Performance Analyzer, an approach which works but has drawbacks. Then, in 2022 I wrote another post showing how you can get the same IDs using the Power BI Embedded Analytics Playground, which again works but isn’t perfect.

The cloud market has been a picture of maturity of late. The pecking order for cloud infrastructure has been relatively stable, with AWS at around 33% market share, Microsoft Azure second at 22%, and Google Cloud a distant third at 11%.

Revenue growth remains solid across the industry, but slowing somewhat, with none of the Big 3 outperforming the others enough to materially alter the balance of power.
