Contracting
Many organizations are utilizing their data for actionable insights, but don’t have the existing resources or pre-existing knowledge to make their data work as effectively as possible. You need to either hire the perfect person or temporary consultants. We know that in the world of report creation, many organizations don’t need a full-time report writer. And we understand that having a consulting company is great, but these tend to be short-term contracts for specific work at a specific time.
EPM Strategy has helped numerous organizations start or improve their business intelligence journey. Part of doing that has made us realize that short-term consulting experiences accomplish what is needed and are very beneficial to our clients. However, they don’t always address the ongoing needs for maintaining their Power BI tenant. Therefore, we have started working with our existing clients to help maintain and administrate their Power BI tenants from setup to proper usage, from reporting to full administration. These are not consulting contracts per se as much as they are to help with ongoing skilling and capability.
Some organizations may not have the ability to develop reporting skills in their organization or to keep the maintenance of their Power BI investment. We have a process to help you grow your capabilities. We can start you out by building an initial model and then we can maintain it for you or perhaps hand it off to your internal resources. We can also administer your Power BI tenant for you long-term or train your internal resources to take over administration.
Our solution is to provide a medium or long term maintenance agreement for reporting solutions, report maintenance and administration (or some combination of the three). This allows you to know that your Power BI investment is being properly managed without you having to train internal resources. It also means that you do not have to obtain short-term consulting that may help resolve a specific situation but doesn’t address your long-term needs.
Who
EPM Strategy has been working with Power BI since 2013, and we have seen it all! EPM Strategy has experienced all areas of Power BI, from creating reports and models and managing the service (tenant settings, apps and workspaces), to full-scale adoption and implementation of Power BI. We are Power BI Consultants typically, so we have been thrown into many complex, heavily nuanced situations before. But our goal for this type of work is not to be a one-time, short-term consultant. Our goal is to substantially help you with your Power BI reporting solution.
