Power BI That Gets Used - Not Just Deployed

Most organisations that buy Power BI have the same problem: low adoption. Reports built without understanding how decisions are made. A semantic model analysts don't trust. Business users who bypass dashboards and email the data team instead.

Our Power BI consultingstarts where adoption fails - requirements. We interview the people who will use each report before designing anything. We build the semantic model first, DAX second, visuals third - so your Power BI estate is built on a foundation that produces consistent numbers, loads fast, and makes sense to the people reading it.

We deliver the full Power BI stack: semantic model design, DAX development, report and dashboard delivery, row-level security, workspace governance, and self-service enablement, from a single team with no handoffs.

Why Clients Come to Us
"We have Power BI but our dashboards don't get used"
Reports built without understanding how the business makes decisions. Nobody was consulted on what questions they need answered. The dashboards exist but the data team still gets emailed for everything.
"Our Power BI reports take 3 minutes to load"
No semantic model, no aggregations, no query optimisation. Every report queries the raw database directly. What should take seconds takes minutes - and business users have given up waiting.
"Finance and Sales show different revenue in Power BI"
Metrics defined in individual reports without a shared semantic layer. No single DAX measure for revenue. Every team built their own calculations, and nobody agrees on any number.
"Everyone can see everyone else's data in our reports"
No row-level security design. The wrong people see the wrong data. Compliance and security teams have flagged it, but the internal team doesn't have capacity to implement RLS correctly.
What We Deliver

Six Power BI Services We Deliver End-to-End

From semantic model to governed self-service - every component your organisation needs to build a trusted, high-adoption Power BI estate.

Semantic Model Design

We design and build the Power BI semantic model - star schema, relationships, hierarchies, and measure groups, that every report draws from. One model, one source of truth, consistent numbers everywhere in your organisation.

Star schema & relationship design
Shared DAX measure library
Analysis Services / Fabric semantic model
DAX Development & Optimisation

Business logic implemented in DAX, from simple KPI measures to complex time intelligence, running totals, and dynamic segmentation. Existing DAX optimised for performance: measure dependencies untangled, context transitions corrected, query times cut.

Complex DAX measure development
Time intelligence & YTD calculations
DAX Studio performance profiling
Report & Dashboard Design

Production reports and dashboards designed around the decisions they need to support - executive dashboards, operational reports, drill-through pages, and mobile-optimised layouts. Every visual chosen because it communicates clearly, not because it looks impressive.

Executive & operational dashboard design
Drill-through & tooltip page design
Mobile-optimised report layouts
Row-Level Security

RLS implemented across all reports - role-based, dynamic, and hierarchy-based security patterns. Users see only the data they're authorised to see. Fully tested before deployment with documented role definitions and an audit trail your compliance team can rely on.

Static & dynamic RLS patterns
Hierarchy-based security design
Azure AD group integration
Workspace Governance

Power BI workspace architecture designed for scale, workspace strategy, app deployment model, dataset certification process, report ownership standards, and naming conventions. A governance model that prevents Power BI sprawl as your estate grows beyond its initial scope.

Workspace & app architecture design
Dataset certification standards
Sensitivity labels & data loss prevention
Self-Service Enablement

The semantic layer and training programme that enables business users to build their own reports reliably - without breaking the model or producing inconsistent metrics. User tier design, guardrails, certified dataset promotion, and a champion programme to sustain adoption.

Self-service tier & access design
Training per user persona
Champion programme & adoption metrics
How We Deliver It

From Requirements to Governed Power BI Estate in 4 Phases

First production reports live in 2 weeks. Semantic model built first - every report that follows is consistent and fast.

Requirements & Discovery

Stakeholder interviews to understand the decisions each report needs to support. We audit your existing Power BI estate, reports, datasets, and workspace governance - before designing anything.

⏱ Weeks 1–2
Semantic Model & Architecture

Star schema design, DAX measure framework, RLS architecture, and workspace governance model agreed and documented before any report is built. The foundation that everything else runs on.

⏱ Weeks 2–3
Sprint Report Delivery

Reports built in weekly sprints - each sprint delivering tested, documented, production-ready reports connected to the governed semantic model. First reports live in 2 weeks from kickoff.

⏱ Weeks 3 onwards
Governance & Handover

Workspace governance activated, certification process documented, user training delivered, and self-service model enabled. Full documentation so your team maintains and extends the estate independently.

⏱ Final sprint
Why Numlytics

Why Choose Numlytics for Power BI Consulting

We've built Power BI environments for enterprises across financial services, retail, manufacturing, and SaaS in the US, UK, and Australia - certified Microsoft Power BI specialists, not generalists.

Microsoft Certified Power BI Specialists
Every Power BI consultant holds PL-300 (Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst) certification. Not generalists attending a Power BI course - specialists whose full focus is Power BI delivery, semantic model design, and DAX development.
Semantic Model First, Reports Second
We build the semantic model before the first report page. A well-designed model with governed metric definitions means every report built from it is consistent. Reports built directly on top of raw tables produce the dashboard numbers nobody agrees on.
Performance-Optimised From Day One
Slow Power BI reports are almost always a DAX or model design problem. We write DAX that performs, no CALCULATE nesting without purpose, no row-context iteration where aggregation works, storage modes chosen to match your data volumes and refresh requirements.
Row-Level Security Built In
We implement RLS as part of every Power BI engagement, not bolted on later. Static and dynamic row-level security roles designed from the data model up, tested against every user role before deployment, documented for ongoing maintenance by your team.
Full-Stack: From Data Source to Dashboard
Our Power BI consultants work across the full stack - from data source connection and Power Query transformations through semantic model and DAX to report design and deployment. No gaps between the data engineering team and the BI team.
Up to 50% Lower Cost
PL-300 certified offshore Power BI consultants from India, same delivery quality as US or UK BI firms at up to 50% lower cost. Full timezone overlap, daily standups, and Slack access throughout the engagement.
★★★★★

"We had 47 Power BI reports built over three years by different developers. Every report showed slightly different revenue numbers for the same period. Finance refused to use any of them for month-end reporting. Numlytics audited the entire environment, found 12 different definitions of 'revenue' across the reports, and built a single certified semantic model with every metric agreed and documented with our Finance and Operations leads. We now have one number, everyone trusts it, and month-end reporting time has dropped from two days to four hours. The reports also load in under 3 seconds - they were taking 45 seconds before the engagement."

Power BI Consulting FAQs

Common questions before starting a Power BI consulting engagement with Numlytics.

Ask Us Anything →
A Power BI consultant designs and builds your organisation's full Power BI environment - the semantic model and DAX calculations that define your KPIs, the data connections and Power Query transformations, report page layouts, row-level security, and workspace governance. The goal is a Power BI environment where every metric is trusted, reports load quickly, and business users can find what they need without requesting a new report every time.
Numlytics delivers the first Power BI dashboard in 2 weeks - covering the core data connection, semantic model, and primary report pages. A full Power BI implementation including multiple subject areas, row-level security, certified datasets, and user training typically runs across 4–8 week sprint engagements, with a working dashboard delivered every sprint.
A Power BI semantic model is the business logic layer between your raw data and your reports - containing metric definitions, DAX calculations, table relationships, hierarchies, and row-level security rules. A well-built semantic model means every report using it shows consistent, governed metrics. A poor one means different reports show different numbers for the same KPI — and nobody knows which is correct. The semantic model is where KPI framework design meets Power BI.
Yes, Power BI environment remediation is one of our most common engagements. We audit your existing reports, semantic models, and workspace structure; identify performance bottlenecks, DAX issues, and governance gaps; and rebuild or refactor the problem areas. Reports that load in 45 seconds, dashboards with inconsistent metrics, and workspaces with no governance - all resolved without a full rebuild where possible.
DirectLake is a Microsoft Fabric query mode that reads directly from OneLake Delta tables - delivering near-Import speed without scheduled refreshes or data duplication. It's the right choice on Microsoft Fabric with large, frequently-changing datasets. If you're not on Fabric, Import mode with an optimised semantic model is usually the right approach. We recommend the correct storage mode based on your data volumes and refresh requirements, not the newest feature.
