Power BI rescue services that keep every report alive, refreshing, and trusted. Without paging your one analyst at midnight.
Power BI support, rescue, and service-level agreement cover for finance, operations, and data leaders who refuse to wake up to a broken refresh, a stale board pack, or a chief financial officer screenshot with a red error icon. We run incident intake, gateway recovery, DAX repair, and capacity tuning so your estate is healthy when your team opens the laptop.

Power BI estates under active support
P1 first-response service-level agreement, business-day cover
Refresh reliability across managed tenants
Cover on platinum-tier contracts
The refresh failed at 3am. Your chief financial officer opened the report at 7am. Now you have a meeting.
Most Power BI estates are run by one person who also has another job. When a gateway drops, a DAX measure breaks, or a premium capacity throttles, the next executive who clicks a tile sees an error. That executive remembers the error long after you fix it.
Problem: today
A spreadsheet with your phone number on it is your incident plan.
- A refresh fails overnight and no one knows until the 8am stand-up.
- Gateway on a laptop under a desk: if it sleeps, sales reports stop.
- Your one Power BI developer is on holiday. The board pack is Friday.
- Premium capacity throttles silently. Reports load in 90 seconds, or never.
- Row-level security drift quietly shows sales representatives each other's pipeline.
- No one logs the fix. Same incident happens again in six weeks.
Solved: with Redefine
A named support team, a service-level agreement you can read, and a tenant that is monitored while you sleep.
- Refresh failure alerts route to our on-call before your team logs in.
- Gateways relocated to a hardened virtual machine with health probes and auto-restart.
- A named support lead plus a backup engineer: no holiday black holes.
- Premium capacity metrics watched. Throttling caught before users notice.
- Row-level security audited monthly. Role drift caught and rolled back inside hours.
- Every incident gets a root-cause note and a preventive change. No repeats.

Power BI SLA support in four severity tiers. Response and resolution windows in business hours. Credits when we miss.
Standard tier shown. Gold tier halves response times and adds weekend cover. Platinum tier is 24 hours, 7 days with a 15-minute P1 acknowledgement.
| Severity | Definition | First response | Workaround | Resolution target | Live |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1: critical | An executive report, board pack, or company-wide refresh is down. Multiple users blocked. | 30 minutes | 2 business hours | 1 business day | |
| P2: high | A single critical report is broken or slow. A workspace cannot publish. Row-level security shows wrong data. | 2 business hours | 1 business day | 3 business days | |
| P3: medium | Visual bug, single measure drift, isolated permission issue, slow refresh outside peak. | 1 business day | 3 business days | 10 business days | |
| P4: low and request | Enhancement, new measure, new role, new workspace setup, training session, documentation update. | 2 business days | Not applicable | Within sprint |

A mid-market industrial group called us on a Sunday. By Tuesday the board pack ran on time.
Client
Mid-market industrial group
Manufacturing · 2,400 staff · approximately AUD 480m revenueWhat they do
Eight subsidiaries across plant equipment, parts, and field service. Power BI runs finance close, plant utilization, parts margin, and field service service-level agreement reporting for the chief executive officer and the divisional managing directors.
The Sunday phone call
Their data lead resigned on a Friday with no handover. By Saturday afternoon, the finance close refresh failed. By Sunday lunchtime, every divisional report was either stale, blank, or showing a red error tile. The board met Wednesday morning. Their head of finance found Redefine through a sibling reference and called at 6pm Sunday.
Before: Sunday 6pm
After: Tuesday 4pm
What we did in 60 hours
Rescue lead onboarded within two hours. Reverse-engineered the broken refresh chain by Monday 9am. Rebuilt the gateway on a hardened virtual machine. Repaired three drifted DAX measures. Re-certified the executive workspace. Documented every change in a runbook before handing back. Then signed a gold-tier support retainer the following Friday.

Three claims. Each backed by a workflow your finance auditor can read.
We support Power BI. Not "Microsoft stack." Not "data tools." Power BI.
A generic managed service provider supports your laptops, your network, your Microsoft 365. Power BI is the seventh thing on their service catalog and the second tab in their tooling. Our engineers spend every working hour on Power BI semantic models, DAX, gateways, capacities, and deployment pipelines. The depth shows in the first hour of a ticket.
Proof
100% Power BI
Of engineer billable hours. Not split with other platforms.
Every P1 ticket gets a written root-cause memo inside 24 hours.
The other support partners we replace had the same incident happen six times in a year because no one wrote down why. We send the memo to your data lead, your information technology director, and your chief financial officer. It names the cause, the change, the test, and the prevention. The next quarter your same-incident count falls to zero.
Proof
0 repeats
Of root-caused incidents inside the same retainer year.
You read the service-level agreement, the credit clause, and the named engineer before you sign.
No "best effort." No "team availability." A signed master support agreement with severity tiers, response and resolution targets, credit percentages on breach, named lead engineer, named backup engineer, and an opt-out clause at 60 days. The legal pack is two pages. Your procurement team reads it in one meeting.
Proof
2-page master support agreement
Plus one-page service-level agreement. Signed by 312 clients to date.
Start with a power bi health check. What you pay for support is less than one rebuilt board pack.
Standard tier starts at AUD 3,800 per month for tenants with under 50 active users. Mid-tier estates with deployment pipelines, premium capacity, and an integration footprint sit at AUD 7,200 to 12,500 per month. Platinum 24 hours, 7 days begins at AUD 18,500. Every number is published, never quoted on application.

Seven honest answers before you book the call.
Yes: that is the most common starting state. The first two weeks are an audit: we inventory every workspace, dataset, dataflow, report, gateway, and refresh schedule. We document the semantic model, capture the DAX library, and certify the executive workspace. Then the service-level agreement starts. You keep the intellectual property. We never lock our work to our tools.
No. We support whatever Power BI estate you have today. If a migration is needed later: from on-premises Report Server, from Pro to Premium, from Premium to Fabric, we scope it as a separate engagement. Support is never blocked behind a migration.
That is most engagements. The support retainer absorbs the routine ticket load: refreshes, broken visuals, new measures, permission requests, so your developer reclaims time for the strategic work. Gold tier includes an embedded engineer for one to two days a week. Platinum includes named senior cover plus a backup.
Standard tier is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in your business hours. Gold tier extends to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week with weekend morning cover. Platinum is 24 hours, 7 days with a 15-minute P1 acknowledgement, follow-the-sun rotation across Sydney, London, and Toronto, and an on-call escalation tree your chief information officer signs off in advance.
12 months base term, 60-day exit notice from month seven onwards. On exit, we run a 30-day handover: runbooks, change log, audit reports, dataset lineage, gateway credentials, either to your team or to the next partner. No retention games. We have replaced partners who do that, and we will not be one.
Yes. SOC 2 Type II reports shared on non-disclosure agreement. General Data Protection Regulation data processing addendum standard. We work inside your tenant: we do not export data. Engineers connect through your conditional access and named admin accounts. Audit logs from every action available to your security team within 24 hours of request.
We credit 10% of the monthly retainer on the next invoice, up to 30% of monthly spend. The credit is automatic: you do not file a claim. The service-level agreement report each quarter lists every breach and every credit, signed by our head of support. If we breach three quarters in a row, your exit window opens early at no charge.
We turn down work we cannot do well. Read this before you book the call.
If your Power BI estate is a single-user free workspace with three dashboards, the retainer math does not work for you. You will spend more on us than you would on a senior contractor for two days a month. Tell us that on the call and we will say so.
Head of Support, Redefine
Good fit
- 50 or more Power BI users, executive-visible reporting, finance close depends on it
- One internal data lead who needs cover: not a replacement
- Premium or Fabric capacity in play, or planned in next 12 months
Not a fit
- Single-user free workspace, fewer than five reports, no executive use
- You want a person to staff-augment full-time: that is a different page
- Looking for the cheapest quote: we are not, and we will say so
