Microsoft has given its business customers a new tool by integrating its Power BI product into Cortana. Power BI provides access to company-specific data, such as financial filings and performance reports. Together with Cortana, Power BI allows Windows 10 users to ask Cortana for information such as average sales prices of core products, or recent revenue numbers. Microsoft says the idea is to make it easier and more natural for people to ask for and receive data about their company. Microsoft is offering Power BI to Windows 10 desktop users as a preview. Microsoft didn't say if or when Power BI integration might reach Windows 10 Mobile.
