Dashboard Design & Development

A great dashboard communicates the right information at the right level of detail. We design with end users — not just data engineers — to ensure dashboards get used.

Get Started
  • User research to understand what decisions dashboards support
  • Information hierarchy: executive summary → drill-down detail
  • Mobile-responsive layouts for on-the-go access
  • Consistent design systems across all reports
  • Accessibility and colorblind-safe visualizations

Self-Service Analytics Enablement

The best BI program empowers business users to answer their own questions, without waiting for a data team ticket.

Get Started
  • Semantic layer enabling safe self-service exploration
  • Governed data sets with business-friendly naming
  • Template dashboards business users can customize
  • Row-level security so users see only their data
  • Training and office hours for analyst enablement

Dashboard Performance Optimization

Slow dashboards don't get used. We optimize queries, aggregations, and data models to deliver sub-3-second load times.

Get Started
  • Query profiling and SQL optimization
  • Aggregation tables and pre-computed summaries
  • Direct query vs. import mode optimization in Power BI
  • Incremental refresh for large datasets
  • Capacity planning and concurrent user load testing

Report Governance & Certification

Without governance, organizations end up with hundreds of conflicting reports. We implement certification programs to identify trusted reports and deprecate duplicates.

Get Started
  • Report inventory and audit across the BI platform
  • Certified dataset and report certification program
  • Ownership and stewardship assignment
  • Change management for dashboard updates
  • Usage analytics to identify what gets used and what doesn't

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our BI & Reporting services.

Power BI is the best value for Microsoft-centric organizations and has excellent self-service capabilities. Tableau has the best visualization flexibility and is popular in data-mature organizations. Looker is ideal when you need a governed semantic layer and developer-managed BI. We help you choose based on your existing tools and team skills.

We establish a certified metrics layer, either in dbt, Looker LookML, or Power BI datasets, where business metric definitions live centrally. All dashboards pull from this single source, so the same metric always returns the same number regardless of which report you're viewing.

Yes. We execute BI platform migrations regularly, including migrating from SSRS, MicroStrategy, or Cognos to Power BI or Tableau. We audit existing reports, identify duplicates and unused reports, then rebuild the certified set on the new platform.

We set up usage analytics on every deployment, tracking views, unique users, and interaction patterns. This data drives post-launch iterations to improve adoption and retire dashboards that aren't being used.
