Considerations for
Delivering Mobile BI
A business intelligence platform is not complete without the ability to deliver dashboards and
reports via mobile devices. The Microsoft BI platform addresses your mobile access requirements via
an array of ever-increasing deployment options. As of this writing, accessing Microsoft BI functional-
ity via mobile devices includes the following deployment scenarios:
➤ With
SharePoint 2010
or
2013
and a supported mobile device, you can view sites in the
Business Intelligence Center, browse Excel Services reports, interact with PerformancePoint
dashboards, and access Reporting Services reports.
➤ With
Power View
and a supported mobile device, you can view dashboards and data visual-
izations in HTML5 (currently in Preview).
➤ Using
Office 365
and a supported mobile device, you can deploy Excel Services dashboards
and Reporting Services reports. A licensing option called Power BI includes more BI function-
ality than is available with the standard Office 365 subscription.
➤ With
SQL Server 2012 SP1
or later and a supported mobile device, you can view Reporting
Services reports, available in the SQL Server Report Manager, using Internet Explorer 10 (or
later) or Safari. These reports can be accessed via an iPad, Windows phone, or Windows
Surface.
In the following sections, we list each of these deployment scenarios along with caveats and
prerequisites.
Check the online Microsoft resources frequently for updates. The list of available tech-
nologies for mobile use cases changes frequently, and you want to be aware of the latest
options before committing to a deployment plan.
