How AI is used
Zebra BI is a business reporting and visualization platform designed for the Microsoft ecosystem. It provides tables, charts, and cards that follow International Business Communication Standards (IBCS), which helps ensure that reports are consistent and easier to interpret across an organization.
The tool is designed for data analysts, BI teams, financial professionals, and executives. It supports the creation of dashboards that highlight business drivers and variances, which may reduce manual calculations when comparing actuals against budgets or forecasts.
Users can access the tool via Power BI, Excel, and PowerPoint. The platform also includes Zebra AI, a standalone AI-powered tool designed to create dashboards and deliver insights.
Buyers should confirm total user counts, as the licensing model requires a license for every person who views or interacts with a report, including both report designers and viewers.
