What's available

The technologies involved

Analytics is more than dashboards. These are the areas we work with most.

  • Power BI - interactive reports, dashboards and paginated reports
  • Semantic models - shared definitions, measures and DAX
  • Microsoft Fabric - lakehouses, warehouses and OneLake
  • Data preparation - Power Query, dataflows and pipelines
  • Row-level security - the right data for the right people
  • Embedded analytics - reports inside your own apps and portals
  • AI-assisted insight - Copilot in Power BI and natural-language questions

How we work

Analytics works best in expert hands

Anyone can build a chart, but only someone who understands data modelling can tell whether the numbers behind it are right. An experienced analytics engineer knows when a measure double-counts, when a model will slow to a crawl and when two reports will quietly disagree. Self-service and AI tools make reporting faster, but without that expertise they also make wrong answers faster. That is why every model we deliver is designed and reviewed by specialists.
