Dremio and Power BI Direct Query models: an interesting journey to cost optimization

Do you use Power BI as your reporting tool ? Do you find yourself spending substantial amounts on Power BI Premium capacities (or Azure Analysis Services) ? Then this session may be interesting to you. Find out how BIC has been reducing costs by leveraging Dremio as a datasource for Direct Query tabular models. This approach was driven by Dremio Reflections, performance optimizations, and specific tabular model development. Recent developments on both Dremio and Power BI allow us to build Direct Query models, with realistic amounts of data and acceptable report performance.
