Are you really, really good at designing Power BI solutions? If
so, you should nominate yourself for Microsoft’s Power BI
FastTrack Recognized Solution Architect (FTRSA) distinction!
Here’s the official description of what this is:

FastTrack Recognized Solution Architect is a recognition
conferred by the Power Platform product engineering team upon a
practicing solution architect for consistently exhibiting deep
architecture expertise and creating high quality solutions during
customer engagements. A FastTrack Recognized Solution Architect
typically works for a systems integrator partner.

You can see some of the people who received this distinction at
the Microsoft Business Applications Summit 2020 here:

I’ll be honest, the bar is set extremely high and only the
very best will be successful. For an architect to be eligible for
the FTRSA distinction, he/she must meet the following
requirements:

• Must have a minimum of 2 years of experience with Power BI
  and a minimum of 5 years of experience with Enterprise BI
  solutions.
• Must have a minimum of 2 years of experience as an Enterprise
  BI architect.
• Must be working for a partner with Gold certification in
  
  Data Analytics MPN Competency
• Must have been lead architect for at least 2 Power BI
  in-production implementations with at least 200 active users.

Why nominate yourself?

• FTRSA profiles, and the partners that they work for, will be
  listed on a public-facing page on the Power Platform product
  websites in recognition of their contributions towards driving
  customer success.
• Partners can indicate the number of FTRSA(s) they have in their
  promotional materials. They may also point prospective customers to
  the public-facing profile listing page mentioned above.
• The architects will get an e-badge that can be shared on
  LinkedIn and other social media platforms.
• The architects will receive a special mention at the annual
  Microsoft Business Applications Summit.

September 2020 gateway release

Yesterday was filled with announcements of new capabilities of

excitement in the Power BI community. It has also generated a lot
of questions, so we’ve put together this blog post to answer some
of the most common ones we’ve seen.
