Microsoft Named As Gartner Analytics & BI Platform 2025 Leader
See how Microsoft’s recognition as a BI leader in Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant connects to real-world analytics value for your business.
As a proud partner of Microsoft, we’re thrilled by the news that for the 18th year in a row, Microsoft has secured the top spot in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms. They’ve again achieved the highest placement for both Vision and Execution, reflecting unmatched commitment to delivering true BI excellence. For your organization, this means you’re backed by a platform with proven reliability, innovation, and performance.
Staying Ahead of the Curve
This leadership recognition isn’t awarded without Microsoft consistently delivering real value through its analytics tools. Microsoft has been innovating heavily with their data and analytics platforms to give you cutting-edge business intelligence tools to transform how you work. Power BI’s continued evolution, now deeply integrated with Microsoft Fabric, simplifies how organizations manage and analyze data. From ingestion to transformation and visualization, it’s now possible to do it all in one environment. This streamlines governance, improves performance, and reduces the number of moving parts in your data ecosystem.
Microsoft has also made analytics more accessible through AI. Copilot in Power BI allows users to interact with their data using natural language. It builds reports, surfaces insights, and creates visuals in seconds. This helps teams adopt BI faster and use it more consistently, no matter if they’re analysts or decision-makers.
As a technology consultancy and Microsoft solutions partner, we work closely with organizations to make sure these tools don’t just get deployed, but actually drive outcomes. We help define what your business needs. From analytics to setting up your data foundation in Fabric to training your team to use Copilot effectively. The goal is to move fast, show value early, and scale with confidence.
If you’re looking for a starting point, we co-authored two eBooks with Microsoft that go deep into these topics. AI Advantage: A Leader’s Guide to Success offers a framework for rolling out AI and analytics with a business-first lens. From Legacy to Legendary: Transform with Intelligent Applications dives into how Copilot and Power Platform can modernize legacy systems and build smarter solutions faster. Both are available to download for free.
Ready to Turn Microsoft’s Leadership Position into Business Impact?
Microsoft’s leadership in analytics is well-earned, but the value only becomes real when you apply it to your own priorities. That’s where we come in. Whether you’re just starting with Power BI or exploring how to build intelligent apps with Fabric, we can help you chart a path that delivers.
