MSCS Compass Updates and New Releases
The MSCS Compass Monthly Newsletter has a new format. You can find it and all archived editions here.
As part of the monthly newsletter, the DAIM team has started publishing a new Empowering Your Data Story report to promote Power BI usage. This report highlights schools that go above and beyond in their use of Power BI and the MSCS Compass. Winners for the month of January are in the February newsletter. You can find more information about this campaign here.
