How we work

  1. Start from the decisions

    KPI and requirements workshops with the business: which decisions, which numbers, which definition.

  2. Model

    One certified semantic model per domain, with a single definition per metric.

  3. Design the reports

    Mock-ups validated with users, then reports built to shared standards.

  4. Test and roll out

    Test plans, numbers reconciled with the existing reports, controlled releases.

  5. Drive adoption

    Training, user guides and adoption tracking after go-live.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a migration to Power BI take?

It depends on the number of reports and sources. A migration focused on one domain usually takes 4 to 12 weeks. We start with an inventory to set aside unused reports: we only migrate what is used.

Our reports are slow: do we need to rebuild everything?

Rarely. Slowness usually comes from the model: overly complex relationships, calculations in the wrong place, unnecessary full refreshes. An audit with DAX Studio and Tabular Editor identifies the priority fixes.

How do we keep self-service from turning into chaos?

By separating what is certified from what is exploratory: certified models per domain, report templates, a catalogue and adoption tracking. Users stay free, on a shared foundation.

Do you work with our Power BI developers?

Yes, and we recommend it. We set the standards, deliver alongside your teams and train them, so they stay self-sufficient afterwards.

Can you take over Tableau or Qlik reports?

Yes. We have migrated SAP BusinessObjects, SQL Server, Cognos, Qlik Sense and Excel to Power BI; Tableau follows the same approach: inventory, rebuilding the logic, reconciling the numbers, supporting the users.
