See your Business Vision with the Magic of Power BI

So, you have seen the magic of Power BI, but there are too many hurdles to get started. Will you need a Fabric account, a Power BI licence, an hour long tutorial.

The truth is that you don’t need any of these. You can check this out on your own PC in your own time, at no cost. And it only takes 10 minutes following some simple steps. Request your Quick Start instructions to build your own report. Why wait, why not try it now.

Getting Started with Power BI

Power BI offers a rich palette of tools and features, and while the prospects are exciting, it can be daunting to know where to start. This is where our Quick Start approach comes into play. Think of it as a guided tour, where we take you through the foundational aspects of Business Intelligence. This initial journey gives you a first-hand experience of the transformative capabilities of Power BI. And as you explore, you’ll gain a clearer vision of how this tool can be harnessed to meet, and exceed, your data visualisation and analysis objectives.

Automated Power BI Integration

Traditional report generation often involves hours of manual input, and the end result is a static representation of data at a specific moment in time. But what if your reports could update dynamically, pulling fresh data whenever needed? That’s the promise of our Power BI integration. By automating the bridge between your data sources and Power BI, we ensure that your reports are always up-to-date, showcasing real-time trends and patterns. This not only reduces the manual effort involved but ensures your decisions are based on the latest information available.

Seamless Collaboration & Sharing

In today’s interconnected world, collaboration is paramount. With Business Intelligence, you’re not just sharing static figures; you’re offering an interactive experience. Imagine a scenario where team members from different regions can simultaneously access and interact with a shared dashboard, without the need for constant file transfers or version checks. This capability is precisely what our solution delivers, turning your spreadsheets into engaging web interfaces that can be accessed, enhancing both accessibility and insight.

FAQ

How is Power BI different from traditional spreadsheets?

Power BI transforms static spreadsheets into interactive, web-like dashboards, making data more engaging and actionable.

What does the "low-cost project" involve?

It’s an initial, budget-friendly dive into Power BI, designed to provide you with a tangible insight into its expansive potential for your business needs. Normally, this would be a departmental type of perspective, rather than a major corporate strategy.

Is Power BI more powerful than a spreadsheet?

Yes, it delivers everything provided in a spreadsheet, automatically updated, plus interactive drill-down for investigation and deeper understanding.

Client Testimonials

Operations Manager of UK Financial: Previously, our Operations team spent 2 hours very month reviewing the performance of our hybrid cloud IT installation using three separate monthly pdf reports with attached recommendations from CPI. These were often followed by the need for subsequent further investigation examining the underlying data sources for root causes of issues highlighted in the meeting. CPI then converted these to a single Power BI report that we could share for our online Teams meeting. These had superior graphics that were fully interactive and combined CPI's recommendations directly into the reports. Not only could we see the charts more clearly in the reports, we could also drill down into the underlying data to determine root causes of the issues that were highlighted. The additional bonus was that the meetings were finished within one hour, saving the company a full working day that could be spent on more productive work. Using Power BI has been a major bonus for us; better quality reports, more interactive meetings, quicker conclusions, increased productivity, all at a reduced cost. I would not hesitate to recommend CPI's approach that included creating a free prototype report for approval, a full specification of the project and producing the results on time with training at a very reasonable cost.

"Our client was manually importing data from various software products into speadsheets to raise alerts when specified capacity thresholds were exceeded. This was time consuming for the client, taking too long and prone to errors. By moving this to Power BI, we were able to fully automate this process with dynamic updates, reducing the time and effort to raise the alerts by an order of magnitude. The quicker response time for the client to respond to issues improved their customer experience, whilst reducing staff overheads."

"A major financial client required an overview of capacity and service delivery for its multi layered web services, which they considered a "black box" from a performance perspective. After meeting with the client team, we implemented a BI view of the service layer components, to provide an end-to-end picture of their online client transactions. They now have a regular interactive BI report showing the performance, service delivery and capacity by component across the whole service. This enables them to eliminate bottlenecks and address performance issues introduced by new applications and legislation changes before they become major issues."
