Become a world class Power BI partner

"iLink has been a Microsoft Gold Partner for over 15 years, and has been a winner of multiple Partner of the year awards. As a managed partner, we are working with companies of all sizes and across industries/verticals to drive Digital Transformation and help customers get value from Microsoft products and solutions. In FY17-18, what stood out amongst our customers and prospects is the interest and demand for Power BI. We fundamentally believe that it’s easier to work with customers when the product speaks for itself. At iLink, we utilise Power BI dashboards for effective data driven business decision making.
Our BI experts focused on delivering Power BI trainings & workshops across the United States jointly with Microsoft at various MTCs (Microsoft Technology Centers) attracting a diverse set of audiences across varied industries and job-roles. Power BI lives up to its name and has been a popular BI choice for customers both large and small. Microsoft Power BI does an impeccable job of combining data analytics in a seamless and user-friendly fashion, offering stunning visuals, data preparation and exploration capabilities and collaboration features. Overall, we are expecting our Data and Analytics practice to grow by more than 200% largely due to Power BI."

Mahadevan Seetharaman, EVP & CMO, iLink Systems

"The Power BI Partner programme is the most beneficial programme we have been involved with in all the years we have been a Microsoft partner. The Community calls and the DIAD programme are especially valued. The Community calls are great for keeping up with the product. In addition, the Community is positively supportive – we always feel we are being helped not “sold to” by the members. The DIAD programme has provided a platform and a forum for us to interact with the product and customers in a terrific way."

Joe Treanor, President, RBT Analytics

"As a partner determined to make a powerful impact and help our customer business scale, we’re enrolled in all partner programmes and are extremely diligent about maximising valuable resources and services that Microsoft offers to its partners. We’ve conducted more than 10 DIAD events that witnessed a participation of 500+ dynamic participants from 250+ businesses.
For us, each of the partner resources Microsoft offers is impactful to our business and helps influence our Go-To Market Strategies and goals. That said, in my over 10 years of experience working with Microsoft on various Partner Programme initiatives, the Power BI Partner Programme has been one of the best programmes we have been involved with."

Mahadevan Seetharaman, EVP & CMO, iLink Systems

"Power BI has changed the rules of engagement between business and IT, allowing a common platform to address tactical business challenges and serve as an enterprise reporting solution. Power BI facilitates the creation of business requirements in the form of rapid prototypes, with which IT can then ensure proper governance, operationalise, and share across the organisation."

Jared Brown, VP, Data and Analytics, Tallan, Inc.

"The Power BI partner programme has created a channel for partners to directly engage with the Microsoft product team, allowing them early exposure to roadmap features so they can provide timely feedback and ensure end-user expectations will be met with the aggressive monthly release cadence. The partner programme has also created a platform for partners to directly contribute in the form of ideas, the community Q&A forum, and to even showcase custom visualisations and solution templates."

Jared Brown, VP, Data and Analytics, Tallan, Inc.
