Power BI Consulting and Development
ReadyViz provides Power BI consulting and development for companies that need more than a quick dashboard. We help teams design, build, improve, and maintain Power BI reporting solutions for management reporting, finance, controlling, operations, risk, energy, engineering, and executive decision-making.
Our consulting work is available for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and international teams. Projects can be delivered remotely, onsite where needed, or as a hybrid setup. The focus is practical: clear reports, reliable data models, maintainable DAX, useful visuals, and a Power BI environment that supports real business decisions.
Power BI consulting for serious reporting work
A useful Power BI report is not just a collection of charts. It needs a clean model, trusted measures, meaningful page structure, consistent visual design, good performance, and a clear answer to the question: what should the user understand or do next?
ReadyViz supports projects from the first concept to production delivery. That can mean building a new reporting solution, redesigning an existing dashboard, cleaning up a slow semantic model, creating management-reporting templates, developing custom visuals, or helping an internal team improve their Power BI architecture and workflow.
What we offer
- Power BI report development: dashboards, management reports, financial reporting packs, operational reports, executive summaries, and self-service reporting structures.
- Power BI data model development: semantic model design, relationships, star schemas, measure tables, DAX measures, calculation logic, and model documentation.
- Power BI custom visual development: specialized visuals for reporting scenarios where native Power BI visuals are not precise enough.
- Management reporting design: KPI cards, variance analysis, waterfall views, contribution reporting, small multiples, and report templates for recurring management meetings.
- Power BI training and coaching: practical training for report authors, analysts, finance teams, controllers, and business users.
- Enterprise architecture and hybrid BI: Power BI architecture, gateway setup, refresh strategy, workspaces, deployment processes, permissions, and integration with existing BI platforms.
- Power BI Report Server support: guidance for on-premises and hybrid reporting environments where cloud-only deployment is not the right fit.
- Data warehouse and analytics support: data preparation, business intelligence architecture, reporting layers, and analytics workflows that feed Power BI properly.
Power BI custom visual development
Sometimes a standard chart is not enough. Finance, risk, engineering, and management reporting often need visuals that follow specific rules, show variance clearly, handle complex business logic, or match a company reporting standard. ReadyViz can support the design and development of Power BI custom visuals for these cases.
ReadyViz also provides ready-made Power BI visuals for specialized scenarios, including risk matrix reporting and transformer dissolved gas analysis. If your use case fits an existing visual, we help you choose the right option. If it does not, we can discuss individual visual development, support, and maintenance.

Report and data model development
Many Power BI problems start in the model. A report can look polished but still be fragile, slow, or hard to extend because the data model was built too quickly. We help structure models around clear business entities, reusable measures, consistent naming, and understandable calculation logic.
This includes importing and transforming data, connecting Power BI to existing systems, designing star schemas, writing DAX, improving measure performance, documenting logic, and building report pages that match the model instead of fighting it. The result should be a solution your team can maintain after delivery, not a black box.
Management reporting in Power BI
Power BI is especially strong when it is used as a management reporting platform. We help teams replace inconsistent spreadsheet packs and scattered dashboards with structured reports for recurring business review cycles.
Typical work includes KPI frameworks, actual versus budget reporting, forecast views, previous-year comparisons, variance analysis, waterfall explanations, margin reporting, customer or product contribution views, and executive summary pages. The goal is not more visuals. The goal is faster understanding.

Training, coaching, and handover
Consulting is most valuable when the internal team becomes stronger. ReadyViz can provide Power BI training, jump-start sessions, coaching for report authors, DAX review, report-design guidance, and handover documentation. Training can be remote or onsite depending on project needs.
Training topics can include Power BI fundamentals, data modeling, DAX measures, report design, management reporting patterns, custom visual usage, deployment practices, and practical troubleshooting. The format can be a compact workshop, a project-based coaching track, or training connected directly to your own reports and data.
Architecture, governance, and production readiness
Power BI becomes business-critical quickly. Once reports are used in monthly reviews, board meetings, operations, or customer-facing processes, the architecture matters. We support decisions around workspaces, permissions, data refresh, gateway setup, deployment pipelines, Power BI Report Server, hybrid BI setups, and the relationship between Power BI and existing data warehouse or analytics systems.
Good governance does not need to be heavy. It needs to be clear. Who owns the model? Which measures are official? How are changes tested? Where are reports published? Who can see what? How is performance monitored? These decisions prevent reporting chaos later.
Typical project formats
- Quick review: audit an existing report, model, or dashboard and identify practical improvements.
- Dashboard or report build: design and develop a new Power BI report from source data to published report.
- Model cleanup: restructure a model, improve DAX, reduce complexity, and improve performance.
- Management-reporting package: create a recurring executive or finance reporting pack with consistent pages and KPIs.
- Custom visual project: specify, design, develop, and maintain a Power BI visual for a specialized reporting need.
- Training and enablement: help your analysts and business users become better Power BI authors and consumers.
Who this is for
ReadyViz consulting is a good fit when your team needs Power BI reports that are clear, reliable, and maintainable. Typical clients include finance and controlling teams, business intelligence teams, risk managers, operations teams, engineering organizations, energy and utility companies, and software or analytics teams that need custom visualization support.
We can help if you are starting from scratch, improving a messy reporting setup, replacing Excel-based management reports, adding specialized visuals, preparing for broader Power BI adoption, or trying to make existing reports faster and easier to trust.
