The Business Case

You have the data. But not the clarity?

Power BI brings your data sources together in one central solution, makes your most important KPIs visible at a glance, and creates the foundation for well-founded decisions.

  • Outdated reportsKPIs nobody fully trusts and everyone calculates differently.
  • Slow decision-makingBy the time the right numbers are available, the market has already moved on.
  • Manual effortQualified people spend their time building reports instead of driving the business forward.

How it works

From scattered data to trusted decisions

This is how your Power BI solution is created — from raw data to dashboards your team actually uses.

01

Analysis & requirements

Before a dashboard takes shape, we clarify what truly matters: which decisions need to become faster, and which KPIs deliver real value – rather than just adding to the noise.

02

Data model & integration

ERP, CRM, Excel, databases: your sources are connected and consolidated into one clean, consistent model – a reliable data foundation for every department, available at any time.

04

Training & handover

Your team learns how to read, interpret, and act on the dashboards – for sustained adoption, not just a successful launch.

FAQ

Questions about Power BI with CPM

From what Power BI actually is to how a project with CPM works in practice.

What is Power BI and do we actually need it?+
Power BI is Microsoft’s business intelligence platform — it connects to your existing data sources, builds a live data model, and delivers interactive dashboards that update automatically. If your team spends significant time manually pulling reports from spreadsheets and different systems, or making decisions without a clear data foundation, Power BI creates the necessary transparency and automates the preparation of your data.
We already use Excel for reporting. Why switch?+
Excel is great for analysis. It is not great as a reporting infrastructure. Every manual update is a risk — wrong data, outdated numbers, version conflicts. Power BI connects directly to your source systems, so reports update themselves. Your team stops building the same report every week and starts spending that time acting on the data instead.
What data sources can Power BI connect to?+
Power BI connects to over 100 data sources natively, including Excel, SQL databases, Salesforce, SAP, SharePoint, Azure, Google Analytics, and most ERP and CRM systems. In practice, most organisations have 2–5 core sources that matter. Part of CPM’s analysis phase is identifying exactly which connections are needed and the cleanest way to build them.
How long does the project take?+
On average, CPM clients reach their first productive dashboard within 3 days. A full project – including data model, multiple dashboards, integrations and training – typically takes two to six weeks depending on scope and data complexity. Over 470 completed Power BI projects ensure realistic timelines and structured delivery.
Do we need technical staff in-house to maintain it?+
No. Part of the CPM handover is making sure your team can use, update and extend the solution independently. We build for maintainability, not dependency. That said, if you want CPM to continue managing the environment after delivery, ongoing support arrangements are also available.
What does CPM handle and what do we do?+
CPM handles the full technical build: data model, connections, DAX measures, dashboard design and testing. What we need from you is access to your data sources, clarity on what decisions each dashboard should support, and a point of contact who can review and give feedback during the build. We keep the process lean — most of the work happens on our side, not yours.
What happens after the project is delivered?+
You receive full ownership of everything CPM builds — the data model, the reports and all underlying logic. The handover includes documentation and a training session for your team. If your needs grow or your data landscape changes, CPM is available for follow-up projects. Many clients start with a focused scope and expand once they see what Power BI makes possible.
