General questions

How quickly do we see the first results?

Typically the first dashboards are ready within 1–3 weeks after the data audit and connections are set up.

Can we use existing data sources?

Yes, we work with ERP, CRM, Excel, SQL, and cloud systems. The audit helps determine the best approach.

Do you also help with licenses?

We help choose the right license and explain the cost structure to avoid unnecessary spending.

How does collaboration work after implementation?

We provide support, regular optimizations, and training to keep Power BI up to date.

Answers by topic

Power BI implementation

How quickly can we see the first result?

In simpler cases, an initial dashboard can be ready within 1–3 weeks after the data audit and connections. The exact timeline depends on source readiness, KPI count, and review speed.

Can you use our existing Excel, ERP, and CRM data?

Yes. We assess structure, availability, and quality, then choose a maintainable connection and refresh approach.

Is training included?

Yes. Training is adapted to user roles so the team understands dashboards, filters, refresh, and responsibilities.

What happens after launch?

We agree handover and initial support. Ongoing maintenance can continue under a Power BI support package.

Do you also help with Power BI licences?

Yes. We assess user roles, sharing requirements, and the appropriate licensing model.

Answers by topic

Power BI audits

How does the starter audit differ from an existing-environment audit?

The starter audit is a fixed preparation scope before implementation. An existing-environment audit may cover models, DAX, Power Query, Service, Gateway, access, and governance, so its scope is estimated separately.

Do you make repairs during the audit?

The audit focuses on assessment and priorities. Repairs or implementation begin only after separate scope approval.

What access is required?

It depends on the audit goal. We begin with the minimum information and agree secure handling of sensitive data and credentials.

How long does an audit take?

Timing depends on environment size, access readiness, and stakeholder availability.

Can you implement the recommendations?

Yes. We can continue with implementation, targeted improvements, or ongoing support.

Power BI consulting

Is a consultation suitable for one technical question?

Yes. The clearer the question, expected result, and previous attempts, the more focused the session can be.

Can you work with our Power BI file?

Yes, if secure transfer and the necessary context are agreed beforehand. We first check whether less data is sufficient.

When is an audit more appropriate?

An audit is better when several connected models, reports, sources, Service settings, or governance processes must be assessed.

Can you implement the solution afterwards?

Yes. Development or configuration changes are scoped separately.

How is consulting priced?

Pricing depends on the question, preparation required, and engagement format. Expected scope and cost are agreed before work begins.

Answers by topic

Licensing and training

Does every Power BI user need a Pro licence?

It depends on publishing, sharing, and capacity. We validate the exact roles and scenarios before ordering.

Can a licence bundle be expanded?

Yes. User numbers and support can be reviewed as team needs change.

Can training use our reports?

Yes. We agree safe examples and learning goals so exercises relate to daily work.

Do you offer separate training for users and analysts?

Yes. End-user sessions focus on report use; analyst sessions cover preparation, modelling, DAX, and publishing.

How is training priced?

Pricing depends on audience size, roles, topic depth, preparation, and custom examples. Cost is agreed before preparation begins.

Answers by topic

Power BI support

Can you take over a solution built by another supplier?

Yes. We begin by inventorying the environment, sources, workspaces, models, refresh, and access, then agree urgent repairs and longer-term maintenance.

Can you help with one specific error?

Yes. Support can begin with a clearly defined refresh issue, slow report, DAX calculation, or Gateway problem.

Is ongoing support available?

Yes. After an initial review, we can agree a recurring maintenance and development arrangement.

What is needed for the first conversation?

A short problem description, its effect on users, and information about the relevant data sources are enough. We agree access separately.

Answers by topic

Pricing and licences

Do all prices exclude VAT?

Yes. Service and licence prices on this page exclude VAT.

Why is there no single fixed consulting price?

Consulting depends on complexity, preparation, and format. Scope and cost are agreed before work begins.

What if a fixed implementation needs more sources or reports?

We assess the additional work and agree revised scope, timing, and price before starting it.

Can the support package be changed?

Yes. Capacity can be adjusted as priorities change, subject to the agreed terms.

Do licence prices assume an annual commitment?

Yes. The listed Power BI Pro bundle prices assume an annual commitment; the exact model is confirmed before ordering.
