Power BI implementation services

Power BI implementation from workspace design through first adoption

Week 1 audit, week 2 model, then first reports, RLS, and adoption — not a license order form.

The problem we solve

Implementation means the plumbing and the first business outcome together: where reports live, how data connects, who can publish, and a first report that replaces a fragile pack—not a folder full of unfinished files.

What you get

What ships in a focused first engagement—not a vague transformation promise.

  • Deliverable 1: Workspace layout for build, test, and live reporting
  • Deliverable 2: Connections from your systems into Power BI (including on-prem where needed)
  • Deliverable 3: First production model and 1–2 reports
  • Deliverable 4: Simple path to promote work to production
  • Deliverable 5: Security groups for who can edit vs who can view
  • Deliverable 6: Training for people who build reports and people who only read them

How it works

A realistic sequence with calendar time, assuming prompt access and stakeholders.

  1. 01

    Week 1

    Week 1 — audit

    Name the decision the first report must support. Map sources (SQL replica vs extract vs API), grain, and owners. Decide Import vs a limited DirectQuery screen. Record gateway placement: On-premises Data Gateway (standard) on an IT VM, not a laptop.

  2. 02

    Week 2

    Week 2 — data model

    Stage keys (shipment, encounter, plant/order — whatever the industry spine is). Date table marked. Relationships as a star. Power Query folding checked with View Native Query. No report pages until the spine reconciles to source totals for three test filters.

  3. 03

    Weeks 3–4

    Weeks 3–4 — first reports

    Headline, drivers, exception table. Sign-off against ERP/TMS/EHR totals. Performance Analyzer on the slowest visual before UAT.

  4. 04

    Week 5

    Week 5 — security

    RLS roles, Entra group mapping, View as for three personas (including a user in two groups and a user in none). App audience is not a substitute.

  5. 05

    Week 6

    Week 6 — adoption

    Publish to the named meeting. Watch whether the pack still opens Excel first. Handover: who owns refresh failures, who can publish, what the next backlog item is.

Practical details

The decisions that matter before the first report goes live.

  • 01Personal laptops should not be the only path for company reporting. Production refresh needs a proper connection your IT can support.
  • 02We start with what you need to report now. Extra capacity or advanced licensing only when the first release truly needs it.
  • 03Clear publish rights stop “everyone’s unofficial dashboard” from becoming the board pack.

Business challenges

  • Anyone can publish; nobody owns the official numbers.
  • Refresh depends on someone’s laptop staying on overnight.
  • Finance and ops disagree which workspace is “the real one.”

Outcomes

  • Clear place for live reporting and who can change it.
  • Scheduled refresh you can monitor.
  • First production report adopted by the named audience.

Frequently asked questions

04

Buyer questions answered

We specify groups and roles; your identity admins apply them. We do not take global admin rights unless that is a separate security engagement.

Four to eight weeks for standards plus the first business report is typical when system access is granted early.

Network access to your databases if needed, a service account for refresh, security groups, and a named business owner.

Yes as a scoped workstream. We migrate the reports people still need—not every leftover file from the last decade.
