Oracle OBIEE
Power BI

Governed, Scalable, Secure

End-to-End Implementation Scope

We handle everything from tenant setup to user training, ensuring you don't just "turn it on," but successfully launch.

Tenant & Security Setup

Foundation setup for scalability and compliance from Day 1.

  • Workspace Architecture
  • Gateway Configuration
  • Row-Level Security (RLS)

Legacy Migration

Safe transition from any legacy tool with zero data loss.

We Migrate From:
Tableau Qlik Excel Cognos SSRS MicroStrategy
  • Logic & Calculation Mapping
  • Historical Data Retention

Adoption & Training

Ensuring your team actually uses the new platform.

  • End-User Training
  • Admin Handover & Docs
  • Center of Excellence (CoE)

Enterprise Implementation Roadmap

A rigorous, technical framework designed to mitigate risk and ensure adoption.

1

Discovery & Architecture

Foundational Design

Weeks 1-2

We define capacity requirements (Fabric/Premium), design the specific data mesh/hub topology, and map out security zones. We audit legacy reports (e.g., Tableau workbooks) to determine migration priority.

  • Capacity Planning
  • Data Mesh Strategy
  • Legacy Audit
  • Success KPIs
2

Tenant & Environment Setup

Infrastructure Hardening

Weeks 2-3

Configuration of the Power BI Service tenant with a focus on governance. We set up On-Premise Data Gateways, configure tenant settings to prevent data leakage, and establish deployment pipelines (Dev/Test/Prod).

  • Gateway Clusters
  • CI/CD Pipelines
  • Workspace Taxonomy
  • Sensitivity Labels
3

Data Engineering & Migration

The "Heavy Lift"

Weeks 3-6

This is where we migrate logic. We translate Tableau LODs, Qlik Set Analysis, or Excel macros into optimized DAX. We build the "Golden Dataset"—a certified, reusable semantic model.

  • Semantic Modeling
  • DAX Translation
  • Incremental Refresh
  • Certified Datasets
4

Validation & Enablement

UAT & Training

Weeks 6-8

Data accuracy is non-negotiable. We run parallel tests against legacy systems to ensure parity. Then, we train your "Champions"—the power users who will drive adoption internally.

  • Data Parity Testing
  • RLS Validation
  • Champion Training
  • Admin Handoff
5

Go-Live & Center of Excellence

Launch & Sustain

Ongoing

We deploy to production and enter "Hypercare"—monitoring refresh failures and query performance. Finally, we help you establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) to govern self-service growth.

  • Prod Deployment
  • Performance Tuning
  • CoE Charter
  • Governance Playbook

Why Our Implementations Succeed

We focus on the "Human Side" of data—adoption, trust, and change management.

Adoption-First Mindset

The best dashboard is useless if no one uses it. We involve end-users early in the design process to ensure the solution actually solves their business questions, driving high adoption rates from Day 1.

Security by Design

We don't "bolt on" security at the end. RLS, OLS, and network security are baked into the architecture, ensuring your sensitive HR or financial data is never exposed to the wrong audience.

Built to Scale

We avoid "quick fix" shortcuts that create technical debt. Our star schema models and workspace architectures are designed to handle terabytes of data and thousands of users as you grow.

Independence (No Vendor Lock-in)

Our goal is to make you self-sufficient. We provide comprehensive documentation, recorded training, and "train-the-trainer" sessions so your internal team can own the platform.
