Shared semantics
Explicit KPIs, dimensional models and DAX measures that reduce conflicting versions of the same information.

Power BI implementation and modernisation
We build and modernise Power BI solutions — from requirements, KPIs and semantic models to reports, security, performance and a controlled production operating process.
Situations and scope of work
WHEN IT HELPS
Does this sound familiar?
- The same KPI has different definitions and values across reports or departments.
- Models are slow, refreshes are unstable and every change requires disproportionate effort.
- Reports are being created faster than standards, tests, documentation and ownership.
- Users export data to Excel because reports do not match the way decisions are made.
- An existing solution needs consolidation or modernisation without interrupting business reporting.
SCOPE OF WORK
What the engagement may include.
- 01
Requirements workshops, business questions, user groups and explicit KPI definitions.
- 02
Semantic models, dimensional modelling, DAX and Power Query/M.
- 03
RLS/OLS, roles, sharing and protection of data in reports.
- 04
Management and operational reporting with a clear information hierarchy.
- 05
Optimisation of models, queries, visuals and refresh processes.
- 06
Testing, documentation, version control and release across environments.
- 07
Support, usage monitoring and modernisation of existing solutions.
SOLUTION COMPONENTS
Reporting designed around decisions.
A strong Power BI solution combines shared semantics, the right level of detail and a process that allows reports to evolve safely.
User experience
Reports matched to business questions, decision frequency and the level of detail each audience requires.
Production and change
Security, testing, deployment, monitoring and documentation that support controlled development.
OUTCOME
What remains after the engagement.
- Fewer conflicting metrics, duplicate models and manual reconciliation steps.
- Faster reports and more stable, observable refresh processes.
- Controlled change without disrupting ongoing reporting.
- A solution with clear ownership, documentation and development rules.
FAQ
Questions before the project
Where does a Power BI implementation start, and what do we receive?
With decisions, audiences, sources and agreed KPI definitions. For the selected scope, we build a semantic model and reports, validate results and permissions, and prepare documentation and release procedures.
What determines the cost and duration of a Power BI implementation?
Source count and quality, model and measure complexity, report scope, access roles, and refresh and performance requirements. Availability of people who approve KPIs and results also matters. We agree the price and schedule once these elements are defined.
Can existing reports be improved instead of starting again?
Yes, where a review confirms which elements are worth retaining. We plan model, report and refresh changes in phases, with tests and an agreed release process. Monitoring and support for the existing solution can be included in the engagement.
