Microsoft Corporation acquired Datazen Software, a transaction announced in April 2015.
Datazen Software operates in Cloud + Enterprise / Power BI (SQL Server). Datazen was a mobile business intelligence and data-visualization platform optimized for SQL Server, with native apps across Windows, iOS, and Android. Microsoft acquired it to accelerate its Power BI strategy and give customers strong on-premises, mobile-first BI that bridges existing SQL Server investments to the cloud.
Strengthen Power BI's mobile capabilities and provide a migration bridge from on-premises SQL Server BI toward cloud-based Power BI.
This acquisition accelerates our Power BI strategy to help organizations create a data culture with easy-to-use, accessible tools.Kamal Hathi, Partner Director, Cloud + Enterprise, Microsoft
