Power BI consulting services that replace 47 spreadsheets with one board-ready answer
Our power bi consulting services give you a single Power BI environment that turns enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, and finance data into the numbers your chief financial officer actually trusts. Strategy, builds, integrations, and managed support from one Microsoft partner team.
Brief submitted → discovery call within 48 hours → scoped roadmap in 5 business days → first executive report live within 4 weeks.
Most reporting stacks are broken by design
Switch between the old way and what Power BI looks like when it is built properly. Same business, two completely different operating systems.
- Three analysts rebuild the same monthly board pack from Excel exports.
- Revenue in customer relationship management does not match revenue in enterprise resource planning, and nobody knows which is right.
- SQL Server Reporting Services reports built in 2017 still ship to leadership every Monday, formatting and all.
- Data Analysis Expressions measures live inside one person's Power BI file. They left in March.
- A board question takes 11 days because the underlying model cannot answer it.
- Board pack refreshes itself overnight, signed off by 8am Monday.
- One semantic model. Revenue means the same thing in every report on every team.
- Legacy SQL Server Reporting Services and Crystal reports retired, rebuilt as governed Power BI apps.
- Data Analysis Expressions library, lineage, and documentation owned by your team, not one person.
- Chief financial officer drills from group revenue to a single invoice in under 8 seconds.

Every Power BI service ships a real artefact you own
These are the nine concrete deliverables a Redefine engagement leaves behind. Your team owns the Power BI files, the Data Analysis Expressions library, the documentation, and the runbook on day one.
Certified semantic model
A governed Power BI dataset with conformed dimensions, row-level security, and a documented Data Analysis Expressions library. Promoted to your tenant on day one.
Executive report and board pack
A 6 to 12-page Power BI report tuned for chief financial officer, chief executive officer, and board review. Drill-through to invoice level. Print-ready PDF export.
Data warehouse layer
Cost-optimized warehouse on Azure SQL, Fabric, or your existing cloud. Star schema, history tables, and incremental refresh.
Integrations and gateway setup
On-premises data gateway, certified connectors to Dynamics 365, SAP, Business Central, Salesforce, and SQL. Source mapping document included.
Governance and row-level security
Workspace topology, sensitivity labels, row-level security roles, and a Power BI admin runbook your information technology team can operate.
Service level agreement support and managed cover
Optional 24 hours by 5 days cover with Priority-1 response under 1 hour, monthly health check, and a named technical account manager.
Documentation and runbook
A living wiki covering data lineage, measure definitions, refresh schedule, escalation flow, and onboarding for new analysts.
Hire developers or augment
Bring on a dedicated Power BI developer or a full data squad. Same team that built your environment stays embedded.
Audit, health check and return on investment
A standalone Power BI audit deliverable: performance, governance, licensing, return on investment estimate, and a prioritised remediation backlog.
Your team's time investment across a full Power BI engagement is typically 2 to 3 hours per week. One data validation call, async sign-off on report layouts, and a final user acceptance testing session. We handle data modelling, Data Analysis Expressions, extract-transform-load, gateway, and publishing.
A weak reporting stack leaks $34k a month
On a typical mid-market engagement we measure four costs your chief financial officer is already absorbing: manual reporting hours, slow decisions, duplicated tools, and warehouse waste. The numbers below come from real Redefine audits, not modelling.

How one marine enterprise cut warehouse cost by $1,200 a month
A multi-site marine manufacturing and sales group running disconnected enterprise resource planning systems for sales and purchasing, with reporting stitched together by analysts.
No unified reporting layer, an expensive legacy data warehouse, and no role-based access controls. Executives waited days for numbers they could trust.
A cost-efficient custom data warehouse consolidated every enterprise resource planning system into one Power BI semantic model. Row-level security gave each role its own view. Executive dashboards surfaced the metrics that actually drive decisions.
- Multi-enterprise resource planning unification (sales and purchasing)
- Power BI semantic layer with standardised metrics
- Row-level security for executive versus operational roles
- Right-sized warehouse on Azure SQL
"Faster access to reliable insights, no infrastructure waste, and a scalable foundation we can actually maintain." Engagement summary, Redefine analytics team.
How we compare to the typical Power BI implementation partner
These are the questions a chief financial officer and a head of data ask when they shortlist Power BI partners. We answered them honestly.
| Engagement attribute | Typical implementation partner | Redefine |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery model | Paid discovery, 4-week kickoff before first deliverable | Scoped roadmap in 5 business days, no paid discovery phase |
| Power BI and enterprise resource planning depth | Power BI specialists who outsource enterprise resource planning integration | In-house Dynamics 365, Business Central, NAV, and SAP teams under one engagement |
| Code ownership | Power BI files and Data Analysis Expressions in partner-controlled workspace | Your tenant, your Power BI files, your Data Analysis Expressions library on day one |
| Pricing transparency | Contact for pricing, time-and-materials with no ceiling | Line-by-line scoped pricing, fixed-fee blocks, return on investment estimate |
| Onshore versus hybrid | Onshore project manager, fully offshore build with 12-hour lag | Hybrid team with 6-hour timezone overlap, named lead architect |
| After go-live | Handover deck and a goodbye email | Health check, service level agreement support, hire-a-developer, all from same team |
| Rescue work | Refuses to take on someone else's broken estate | Dedicated rescue and report repair services |

The questions chief financial officers always ask
First executive report inside four weeks for most mid-market engagements. A full multi-source warehouse and certified model runs 10 to 14 weeks. We scope it line by line in the first 5 business days, so you see the calendar before you sign anything.
A scoped audit and roadmap is approximately $9,000 to $14,000. A full executive reporting build with semantic model and warehouse lands between $48,000 and $120,000 depending on source complexity. Managed support starts at $4,800 a month. Every number is line by line, fixed-fee, with no time-and-materials surprises.
Yes. Everything ships into your Microsoft tenant in your workspaces. You own the Power BI files, the dataflows, the Data Analysis Expressions library, the warehouse code, and the documentation. If you leave us, your reporting keeps working.
Yes. About a third of our engagements start as rescue or report repair work. We run a stabilisation sprint first to get refreshes green and numbers reliable, then we plan the rebuild. No judgement about how it got there.
Row-level security roles are defined alongside your information technology and human resources leads before any data lands in a report. We apply Microsoft sensitivity labels, hardened gateway configuration, and dataset endorsement. Audit logs are wired into your Power BI admin tenant on day one.
Every metric on this page comes from a Redefine project, not a brochure. On a discovery call we will introduce you to the lead architect from the marine manufacturing engagement and walk you through the warehouse cost difference and the row-level security model live.
It depends on user count, refresh frequency, and whether you need Fabric capacity. For most clients between 200 and 2,000 viewers a mixed model of Pro for authors and Premium Per User for power consumers is cheaper than a flat Premium capacity. We size it line by line during the audit.
Not everyone is a good fit
- Mid-market or enterprise with $50 million to $1 billion revenue and at least one enterprise resource planning system (Dynamics 365, Business Central, SAP, NAV, Oracle).
- Chief financial officer or head of data is the buyer and the executive sponsor, not a delegated middle manager.
- You already use Microsoft 365 or Azure and want Power BI to be your reporting standard.
- You want a partner who owns the build but transfers everything back to your team on day one.
- Sub-$10 million businesses with one finance person and no enterprise resource planning. Power BI Pro alone solves your problem cheaper.
- Tableau or Qlik shops with no plan to switch. We will not pretend to be a multi-tool agency.
- Buyers who want a "Power BI license reseller" relationship. We sell builds and managed services, not just licenses.
- Organisations that need 100% on-premises reporting with no Microsoft cloud footprint at all.
