Why Power BI managed services?
On top of ongoing support, our managed services also cover you for any new requirements that arise. Consider how you currently manage scenarios like these:
Top-down request
Your CEO asks you to deliver new mobile dashboards in just 10 weeks. Without the strategy or talent in place, you're scrambling to get it done right.
Seasonal peaks
You're in need of extra BI talent to meet higher business volumes in Q4 every year. But finding this talent is a burden when you're already overstretched.
Budget to spare
You have some leftover budget in Q4 that you'd like to spend on a Power BI proof of concept. But you lack the time and knowledge to achieve it.
Skills stagnation
Your teams keep using the same BI processes. The business would benefit from other approaches, but training staff isn't your first priority.
Time to innovate
You would like to try out new customisations but don't have the in-house development expertise to get it done time-effectively.
New talent arrives
A new executive insists that your business use BI features that she used at another company. You're worried it will complicate your team's work.
Our Power BI consultants will handle all these situations — and more.
Flexible Power BI support services
We provide first, second, and third-line Power BI support services. You can choose between two service models: pay-as-you-go and full managed services.
Pay-as-you-go is often preferred by smaller organisations. Our managed service provides proactive support and monthly meetings to review usage and recommend improvements.

FAQ about Power BI managed services and support
Why do I need Power BI support services?
Even if your Power BI platform is functioning well now, there is no guarantee that this will persist. Our Power BI support services are your safety net for this crucial business software. We save you the time, stress, and cost of finding a Power BI specialist in a disaster scenario.
But beside an unforeseen failure like that, we will also help you get more value from Power BI on a day-to-day basis. We can advise you on how to increase BI process efficiency and reduce operational costs, for example. We’ll perform regular security tests to make sure your precious data is protected. And we’ll be on hand to make the changes that you’ll need as your business evolves.
How does your Power BI helpdesk work?
There are two ways you can raise an issue with our Power BI support services: through the portal login that we give every support customer, or with an email our support team.
We have two types of ticket: “issue” and “enhancement”. These tickets are classified by priority, from “minor” through “medium” and “severe” to “critical”.
When our Power BI support services team receives the ticket, you’ll get a confirmation email in response. This email will state the ticket reference and details of your service level agreement (SLA).
Next our Power BI support team will examine the issue and sometimes request extra details from you. Then we recreate the issue in a sandboxed environment for solution testing. Once the issue is resolved, you’ll be able to confirm the solution in user acceptance testing (UAT). Finally we’ll schedule the solution for release into the production (live) environment.
Can you provide Power BI managed services remotely?
Yes. How we do this depends on your particular business requirements and regulations. For support issues, we typically work in remote support sessions. However, we can also go through a designated user or log in through an existing account.
