Power BI consulting
We have worked with Power BI since its 2015 release. We build the data models, reports and dashboards behind it, set up sharing and security, and train the people who use it.
What Power BI is
Power BI is Microsoft’s business intelligence platform. People build data models and reports in Power BI Desktop, then publish, share and secure them in the Power BI service. Today it runs on and alongside Microsoft Fabric.
The data model
The semantic model is the heart of every good report: tables, relationships and measures written once in DAX and reused everywhere. Most Power BI problems trace back to it.
The service
Workspaces, apps, scheduled refresh, row-level security and sharing, administered centrally so the right people see the right numbers.
Our Power BI services
Six areas of work, from the licence decision to the people reading the reports.
Licensing and Fabric capacity
Choosing between per-user licences and Fabric capacity, and sizing capacity for how your organization actually uses reports.
Data modeling
Star schemas, relationships and DAX measures designed for accuracy first, with performance close behind.
Reports and dashboards
Pages that answer a question at a glance, with drill-through for the people who need the detail.
Sharing and security
Workspaces, apps and row-level security set up so access matches your organization, and stays that way.
User training
Hands-on training for report readers and authors, built around your own data rather than generic examples.
Improving what you have
A review of an existing Power BI implementation, then targeted fixes for slow reports, conflicting numbers and sprawl.

If you are evaluating Power BI, or wondering what a better implementation would look like, ask us for a demo. Tell us a little about your data and the decisions you report on, and we will arrange a time.
