I think Power BI is part of 'Cloud Platform System', which is in the
list.

I'm not sure what the CPS is.

Power BI is sort of tied in with SSRS.

Like a lot of the report systems SSRS is about as user friendly as a rabid
pitbull.

You do have to know your way around the database but I think you could
turn a reasonably savvy middle manager loose with it after minimal
instruction. That's not happening with SSRS, Crystal, Jasper, and so
forth. You would feel right at home; the query macros are pretty much like
Excel.
