Enterprise DNA September Updates

by | Power BI

September has been a busy month here at Enterprise DNA, which is why we’ve put together a list of activities and initiatives that happened this past month. Check out some of the highlights that happened last September, and see what’s coming up this month.

eDNA New Platform Update

The new On-Demand learning platform went live last August. This September, we doubled our efforts in responding to all of your feedback and fixing bugs on the platform.

We also had an onboarding event for our subscribers where we provided customized demos and showcased the many great features we’ve added to our user experience.

If you missed our onboarding process, you can still join the next one on November 02 to learn how you can leverage Enterprise DNA’s new platform to significantly improve your analytical skills and productivity levels.

We also came up with tips and a troubleshooting guide in the forum to ensure you have a smooth, stress-free experience when using the platform.

Wrap Up Of Power BI Challenge 22

We also finished another round of the Power BI Challenge for September, and we were pleasantly surprised by the huge turnout. For this challenge, we focused on hotel analytics and dealt with a hotel revenue dataset.

The results of this round has been astounding, and it just goes to show that learning from watching YouTube tutorials and enrolling in courses are simply not enough; you really have to dig in and do the hard work.
