Power BI development

Power BI development services cover dashboard design, data modeling, system integration, automated refresh and governance - everything needed to build a structured, scalable business intelligence environment on the Microsoft Power BI platform. The work usually starts with connecting and modeling your data, not with building charts, because a dashboard is only as reliable as the model underneath it.

Power BI consulting covers strategy, architecture planning, KPI definition, governance design and implementation guidance. It exists to make sure your Power BI environment is designed for long-term scalability rather than short-term fixes, so reports do not have to be rebuilt every time a data source or a reporting requirement changes.

A focused implementation against a single well-understood source, such as an accounting system, typically goes live in about two weeks. Our Moneo integration runs on a fixed 14-day delivery. Multi-source environments with an ERP, a CRM and custom APIs generally take four to eight weeks, and most of that time goes into integration and modeling rather than into building the dashboards themselves.

Power BI on its own is enough when you have one or two clean sources and a handful of report consumers. You need a data warehouse underneath it when several tools have to be joined together, when history needs to be preserved beyond what a source system retains, when refreshes get slow, or when more than one team needs to report from the same numbers without each maintaining their own version.

A spreadsheet stops being enough at the point where someone is rebuilding it by hand every month, where two people produce different numbers for the same question, or where the file has grown so large that it is slow and fragile. Power BI replaces the manual rebuild with a scheduled refresh, so the report updates itself and everyone reads from the same model.

Yes. We build secure API pipelines connecting Xero, QuickBooks, Moneo, Jumis, Horizon and other accounting systems directly to Power BI, with automated refresh and the transformation layer in between. The important part is the semantic model that maps your chart of accounts to how leadership actually reads the business, which is what turns raw ledger data into a usable P&L.

Yes. A Power BI semantic model can be exposed to Claude through the Model Context Protocol, so you can ask a question in plain language and get an answer read from your live data rather than from a guess. This works because the model already defines what each measure means, so the assistant queries governed, defined numbers instead of interpreting raw tables.

Yes. We implement dbt-based transformation layers between your raw sources and the Power BI semantic model, which makes the transformations version-controlled, testable and reviewable. It also moves business logic out of individual reports, so a definition like net revenue is written once and every dashboard inherits it.

Yes. As a Microsoft reseller partner through the Pax8 ecosystem, we provision Power BI Pro, Premium Per User and Premium capacity licenses alongside Microsoft 365. Licensing is quoted separately from implementation work, so you can see what is platform cost and what is delivery cost.

Cost depends on how many systems have to be connected, how much modeling the data needs and whether governance and licensing are in scope, so we scope it transparently after a discovery session rather than quoting a range that would not survive contact with your data. As reference points, our fixed 14-day Moneo integration and our managed data warehouse from EUR 149 per month give a sense of the lower end for a single-source setup.
