Marine Forces Reserve IMKM acts as the lead agent for Marine Forces Reserve Power BI products, developing MFR governance based on Marine Corps guidance/policy.
Power BI uses customer data in the form of reports to create a visual representation allowing decision makers the ability to make more informed decisions.

IMKM assumes all permission rights for any published reports and provides view access reports as determined by the report owner.

Marine Forces Reserve IMKM supports a significant Power BI product line including dozens of reports in production supporting customers across the following MFR and MSC Staff sections. The Power BI team manages all relevant workspaces (Development, Test, and Production), develops, and manages production dataflows, reports, and data sources. A Power BI team member needs to have expertise in understanding customer requirements and how to translate the requirement into an actionable decision support tool. The developer must also be expert in determining how to access, transfer, import, and process the necessary data with data sources ranging from local files stored on Teams or automatic data feeds from DOD/DON/USMC Programs of Record into the Marine Forces Reserve IMKM SQL data warehouse, each with unique technological processing capabilities. The developer, in concert with the IMKM Data Architects, must tailor each feed to optimally meet the requirement including the need to develop interfaces with on premise sources, then transfer the data to cloud-based services via the Marine Corps Operational Data Gateway
