Our Power BI Consultancy Approach
Our Standard Power BI Consultancy Process.
We normally follow a five-stage consultancy process. Depending on the complexity of the project
Initial Meeting
We gain an outline understanding of your business processes, current data utilisation and begin to form a business intelligence strategy. We consider what your data collection and data analysis will be and allow for the ad hoc analysis needs that other consulting firms tend to miss out
Top Level Plan
We enhance this outline and map the data together to form a top-level plan, with important areas of priority planned in first. We further define your requirements to deliver a data strategy in line with your KPIs and objectives
Develop Solution
Following the strategy, we begin to develop the priority areas for your business. We work as close as possible with your team, bringing them on the journey with us and gearing up their knowledge in readiness for them to be able to fully support day to day operations.
Training and Handover
When we get to the point of handover, we focus more on making sure that any knowledge gaps in your teams are addressed and clear documentation is provided and hosted on your systems.
Ongoing Support
We provide a range of on-going support options to ensure longer term success.
