Frequently Asked Questions

What BI platform do you work with?

We specialise in Microsoft Power BI, deploying both the cloud Power BI Service and, if required, on-premises Power BI Report Server. Our consultants can design using star-schema or snowflake data models. They can write complex DAX measures for KPIs and ratios. We use Power Query (M) for extract/transform/load operations.


We incorporate custom visuals, paginated reports, and Power Automate flows where workflows or alerting are required. For customers with large or sensitive data volumes we configure Premium Capacity or Fabric, enabling larger dataset sizes, on-device encryption, and deployment pipelines that separate dev, test and prod workspaces.

Power BI ships with 100+ native connectors and we can connect up SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Azure SQL and AWS RDS databases. We can also connect to SaaS sources such as Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Xero, Google Analytics, and HubSpot.


Flat files (Excel, CSV, XML, JSON), SharePoint lists, REST/OData APIs, and streaming endpoints (Kinesis, Event Hub, IoT Hub) are also in our arena.


When a native connector is unavailable we can build custom connectors using the M extensibility model or stage the data in an intermediate store such as an S3 bucket or Azure Data Lake. Incremental Refresh policies are configured so that only new or changed rows are ingested, dramatically reducing refresh windows.

Discovery often begins with one or more Team meetings to establish your existing data assets, security constraints, and reporting pain-points.


During Design we build a conceptual data model and define the source-to-target mappings. We then prototype the critical visuals in a sandbox workspace. Pipelines can be scripted in Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue, or SQL Server Integration Services.These are governed by Git repositories and CI/CD pipelines.


We typically run in two-week sprints; each iteration culminates in a demo where you can validate the logic, test the security, and check performance.

Yes. We set up connections and refresh strategies so you get instant, always up-to-date reporting where feasible for your data sources.

Yes. We enable trend analysis, forecasting, and pattern detection in Power BI, and can extend with custom logic where needed.


Power BI also comes with some built-in AI visuals (forecasting, anomaly detection, decomposition trees) and DAX patterns for year-over-year, moving averages, Pareto, and cohort analyses.

All solutions inherit AWS’s ISO 27001, SOC 2, and IRAP accreditations.


Data in transit is protected with TLS 1.2+, while data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 via AWS KMS keys that reside in the Sydney region.


Within Power BI we can enforce Row-Level Security and, for sensitive content, apply Microsoft Purview Information Protection labels that prevent export or screen capture.


Nightly snapshots and point-in-time recovery ensure that even catastrophic failures can be recovered within the RPO/RTO specified in your SLA.

Where will my data and dashboards be hosted?
If we host your solution, we deploy to AWS in Australia. We can also support client-hosted environments if required.
Yes. We provide documentation, tutorials, and guided handover so your team can confidently use, share, and extend reports.
We work in partnership, sharing prototypes, gathering feedback at each iteration, and refining until the final system meets your needs.
Post-launch, we offer dedicated support, updates, and optimisations – covering performance, data refresh, new visuals, and enhancements as your needs evolve.
Yes. Power BI enables role-based access, secure sharing, and mobile-friendly dashboards so teams can stay aligned anywhere.

New builds typically start with a ballpark and then a detailed estimate after discovery. Enhancements to existing systems are commonly billed hourly due to unknowns. Contact us for a tailored estimate.


The cost is driven by the scope and complexity of your report. The number of tables, the complexity of the logic, the number and types of connections, the formatting requirements, data size and performance constraints. After our preliminary discovery, we’ll provide ballpark figures for the larger components and more exact estimates for individual tasks.


As a rough guide: a single report might cost in the hundreds to low thousands (AUD); a large or complex suite of reports might be tens of thousands. Please talk to us to get more accurate figures.
