Microsoft Power BI reports

We help organisations that want to improve their Business and Management Intelligence by using Microsoft Power BI.
Need Dark Spark's help to improve your Business Intelligence?
Most management reports are spreadsheets
-
Individual teams produce spreadsheets each month but they aren't available on-demand and can't be easily compared or combined.
-
Insights are hidden in rows of spreadsheets rather than being immediately highlighted to users.
-
Reports only provide a static view of historic data and offer the reader limited ways of interrogating it.
Staff lack Power BI expertise
​​
-
Staff see the value in using Power BI but are unfamiliar it and currently lack the engineering skills to establish data pipelines.​
-
Staff want to present their data through visualisations but need guidance on best-practice.
-
Staff would like practical help creating and maintaining their own reports and dashboards.
Can't commit to permanent Business Intelligence support
​​
-
Your organisation may understand the value of data engineering, analysis and Business Intelligence but can't commit to hiring permanent staff at this time.
-
You want to remove the usual lead-time associated with interviewing, on-boarding and training.
-
You want to start using Power BI quickly without having to 'spin up a project'.
