Power BI

BI built into M365, 
for faster data use company-wide.

Power BI is Microsoft’s self-service BI platform. Seamlessly integrated with Power Platform and Microsoft 365, it covers everything from connecting data to building and sharing dashboards. Often included in M365 licenses, it lets you expand data use across the company at low cost. ITSO supports you end to end, from design and development to adoption.

What you can do with Power BI

  • Power Query (data preparation)

    Connect, transform and clean data from core systems, Excel, SaaS and more without code, eliminating manual compiling at the root.

  • Data modeling (DAX)

    Aggregate large volumes of data quickly and define metrics flexibly with DAX, unifying definitions that tend to differ between departments into one model.

  • Interactive reports

    Explore data freely with slicers and drill-down, going from company-wide figures to department or store breakdowns in a click.

  • Power BI Service (sharing)

    Share reports with stakeholders in the cloud with fine-grained access control, and view the same dashboards on mobile.

  • Power Platform integration

    Works seamlessly with Power Apps and Power Automate, so analysis results can feed straight into business apps or trigger automated flows.

  • Copilot and AI analysis

    AI answers questions in plain language, such as “compared with last month.” Q&A and automatic insight detection deliver insights without analytics expertise.

Issues

Even with a BI tool in place, do these challenges remain?

Each department compiles in Excel, so company-wide figures aren’t visible in real time

Every department builds its own files, monthly reporting takes time, and each data update means redoing the work by hand.

The same metric is defined differently by each department, so every meeting needs reconciliation

Definitions of “sales” or “utilization” differ slightly between departments, and time is lost explaining mismatched numbers at every report.

Reporting depends on one person, and updates stop when they are away

Only one person understands the complex logic, so handovers and new reports stall.

Power BI solves all of these at once.

Flow

Three steps to go-live, in as little as two months.

  1. 1

    Consultation and requirements

    2–4 weeks

    We organize the metrics you want and the data decisions need, define data sources and priorities, and check your licenses and Power Platform usage.

  2. 2

    Data foundation and dashboard development

    3–6 weeks

    We connect to each system, model the data, design DAX and build dashboards from the requirements, with reviews and feedback along the way.

  3. 3

    Testing, rollout and adoption

    1–4 weeks

    After a pre-release review with stakeholders, we roll out to production, then follow usage and keep adding and improving to meet new analysis needs.

Scene

Power BI is at work across a wide range of industries and tasks.

  • Sales

    Deal and sales data unified in a real-time dashboard

    CRM and accounting data were combined to show deal progress and sales in real time, greatly reducing preparation for weekly meetings.

  • Corporate planning

    Company-wide KPI reports, no longer compiled by hand

    Excel reports collected from each department were brought into a data foundation, with the management dashboard updating automatically and monthly reporting time cut sharply.

  • Manufacturing

    Production line KPIs made visible to catch problems early

    A dashboard monitoring utilization and defect rates in real time, with alerts when thresholds are crossed, led to earlier detection of defects.

FAQ

  • Excel is a spreadsheet suited to compiling and charting by hand, while Power BI specializes in connecting multiple data sources automatically, processing large volumes fast and interactive exploration. Reports update automatically when data changes, so manual compiling is no longer needed.

  • A simple dashboard for one metric or department can be built in 2–4 weeks. A standard implementation including multiple data sources and company-wide rollout takes about 2–3 months. We propose a separate roadmap depending on your data foundation.

  • Yes. Power Query can connect Excel files directly as data sources, so you can keep your existing logic while moving to automatic updates and sharing in Power BI.

  • Anomalies detected in Power BI can trigger automatic alerts in Power Automate, and reports can be embedded in Power Apps alongside business apps, linking analysis all the way to action. ITSO designs and builds across the entire Power Platform.

  • Yes. We support governance design for your size, including access control with row-level security (RLS), central management in a data catalog and pre-release reviews, preventing “rogue dashboards” while keeping freedom for teams.
