Opportunities to Empower Business Analytics

When to Consider your Power BI Analytics:

Power BI is used in your organisation but in silos
In house skills are available, but you are unsure of the best practices
Your business is still relying on Excel reports
Producing reports is a time consuming manual process
Power BI is used by some people but not across the organization
The organisation is thinking of dynamic questions and needs a self-service business intelligence offering to answer them
Reporting is produced using many platforms, Power BI needs to incorporate all these reports
Power BI Report Server is already in place but it no longer meets the organisation’s requirements, the system needs to upgrade to Power BI Pro

Typical Power BI Analytics Questions

These are some of the questions we are asked when we start discussing empowering Power BI projects.

We need to bring more data sources into our Power BI reports, can we do this?
Our reports work well but we need to dig deeper into the data, how do we expand our systems?
Our reports are refreshed nightly we now need this more frequently, how often can we have updates?
We have a basic understanding of Power BI, as we plan to spend money and time on this can you guide us with “Best Practices”?
We understand our business but how do we pull together stories for visualisations?
The reports we built look great on a monitor but we need to advise on developing them for mobile usage, our sales team are unable to get the full benefit from them

How we Integrate Power BI

Power BI integrations need a well-considered plan and plenty of experience as each implementation is unique. We will spend time understanding what is in place, is it on-premises or in the cloud? Why this investment is being made, perhaps a merger has taken place or you need additional functionality, maybe you really need to understand your organisation's data. We then spend time understanding how you plan to grow, what will Power BI be required to handle over the coming years? We also consider the number of users, the budget, and the types of records.

Once we have gathered this information we establish if any licensing agreements already cover Power BI. We establish which version of Power BI is most appropriate: Reporting Server, Pro, or Premium. We establish the requirement to integrate Power BI into your business. WB Data Focus will review the design with our clients, ensuring all questions and any issues are addressed. WB Data Focus will then build the solution ensuring best practices are followed at every step.
