What we deliver

  • CI/CD for Power BI and Fabric

    GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipelines, DEV → UAT → PRD promotion, deployments driven by one central configuration.

  • Automated quality gates

    Best-practice rules, DAX tests and refresh validation on every change.

  • Provisioned workspaces

    Workspaces, access and Git integration created automatically through the Fabric and Power BI REST APIs.

  • Controlled access

    Roles, RLS and OLS, Entra ID and service principals; compliance with the GDPR and Canadian privacy law.

  • Capacity and adoption monitoring

    Fabric capacity monitoring, a catalogue of certified data by domain, an adoption dashboard.

Governance & DataOps

How we work

  1. Audit

    Release process, access, capacity and current usage.

  2. Set the standards

    Environments, quality rules, roles and conventions, agreed with your teams.

  3. Automate

    CI/CD pipelines, quality gates and workspace provisioning.

  4. Train

    Your developers adopt the new way of releasing; standards are documented.

  5. Monitor

    Capacity, adoption and adjustments over time.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to move to GitHub to do CI/CD for Power BI?

No. We work with GitHub Actions as well as Azure DevOps. What matters is that your models and reports are versioned (TMDL and PBIR) and that every change passes the same checks.

What is an automated quality gate, in practice?

On every change, the pipeline checks the model against best-practice rules, runs DAX tests on key metrics and validates the refresh of the affected tables. If a check fails, nothing goes to production.

Will our developers lose autonomy?

The opposite: they release more often, with less stress. We train them and document the standards. For a global luxury group, the framework became the whole BI team's standard way of releasing.

How do we know which reports are really used?

We set up adoption tracking from Power BI and Fabric activity: reports viewed, active users, unused content. You know what to maintain, what to promote and what to retire.

Is governance only about security?

No. It is also knowing which data is certified, who owns it on the business side and how it is used. We organize business sponsors, product owners and a catalogue by domain.
