Microsoft Power BI

Make Business Performance Clear Enough to Act On⁠.

Bring sales, service, finance and operational measures into reporting your teams can use. We build Power BI models and reports around shared definitions, trusted data and the decisions behind each dashboard.

Turn Source Data into a Shared Analytical View.

A useful report starts with a reliable model and clear definitions before visual design.

Data Connections

Connect supported sources and prepare refresh or DirectQuery approaches appropriate to the workload.

Semantic Models

Define relationships, calculations and business measures in a reusable analytical model.

Interactive Reports

Build visuals, filters and drill-through pages around the questions the audience needs to answer.

Apps and Sharing

Distribute reports to the intended audience with the appropriate workspace, app and licence setup.

Data Security

Apply role and row-level controls where required and test them against the actual sharing or embedding model.

Embedded Analytics

Present reporting within a portal or custom application using an appropriate embedding architecture.

Put AI to Work in Clearly Defined Tasks.

Choose a useful role for AI, then define the information, access and review needed for that role.

Draft Report Content

Use supported Copilot report-authoring assistance with a prepared semantic model. Review the visuals, calculations and interpretation.

Ask About a Report

Use the report Copilot experience to explore permitted analytical context. Check the answer against the model and source data.

Cross-Item and App-Scoped Experiences

Evaluate the documented standalone and app-scoped Copilot previews separately. Paid supported capacity, region and tenant settings are required; a Pro licence alone is insufficient.

Connect the Product to Modern Business Experiences.

Combine the agreed product configuration with the systems and development that make the complete experience work.

Start with One Useful Process. Build from an Agreed Foundation.

Agree the business outcome, prepare the foundation and validate the complete experience before expanding it.

Agree the Outcome

Choose the first process, its owner, completion criteria and baseline measures.

Prepare the Foundation

Measure definitions, source quality, model ownership, refresh, audience permissions and capacity need to be agreed.

Build and Connect

Configure or develop the agreed experience, permissions and system handovers.

Test and Launch

Check realistic data, permissions, exceptions and confirmed outcomes. Prepare the team for a controlled launch.

Measure and Improve

Review source-confirmed results, operational issues and adoption before extending the next use case.

Understand the Offering. Plan the Right Scope.

The starting point depends on the process and the systems you already use.

Can every Power BI user use Copilot?

Copilot requires the documented supported paid capacity, region and tenant settings, as well as the relevant access. We check the prerequisites for the exact report, authoring or standalone experience rather than assuming a user licence enables it.

Which AI capabilities should be included first?

Start with a specific task and the evidence needed to evaluate it. We check current feature status, environment prerequisites, data quality, permissions and cost. Preview capabilities are assessed separately from the agreed production scope.

Are these use cases included as standard?

The examples describe configured or custom solutions. The feature cards explain the product or delivery foundation; each use case and process identifies the connections, development and related services it needs.

What do we need to define before starting?

Measure definitions, source quality, model ownership, refresh, audience permissions and capacity need to be agreed. We also agree ownership, acceptance criteria, operating responsibility and the first measurable outcome.
