Business Intelligence

Dashboards are the visible part of a much larger system. Datalloy builds the semantic layer underneath them — governed measures, consistent hierarchies and models that stay fast — then designs reporting around the decisions the business needs to make.
The business intelligence stage covers data warehouse, semantic model, governed kpis, power bi reports, business decisions.

Scope

What business intelligence covers

Power BI semantic models, governed measures and dashboards designed around the questions the business actually asks.

  • Semantic modelling

    Power BI models with clean relationships, defined hierarchies and one governed definition per measure, so the same KPI means the same thing everywhere.

  • DAX and calculation logic

    Time intelligence, ratios, variance and running measures written for correctness and performance, with filter context understood rather than guessed.

  • Report design

    Executive summaries, operational reports and analytical views — each built for its audience, its decision and its refresh cadence.

  • Governance and adoption

    Workspace structure, row-level security, refresh scheduling and documentation, so reporting can be trusted and handed over cleanly.

  • Power BI
  • Dashboard development
  • KPI reporting
  • Executive dashboards
  • Operational reporting
  • Semantic models
  • DAX

Signals

When this is usually needed

  • Dashboards exist, but people still export to Excel to check the numbers
  • The same KPI is calculated differently in different reports
  • Reports are slow because the model does work the warehouse should do
  • Report requests queue behind the one person who understands the data
  • Refreshes fail and nobody notices until a meeting

Deliverables

What you get

  • Power BI semantic model with documented measures
  • KPI definitions agreed with the business
  • Executive, operational and analytical report set
  • Row-level security configuration where required
  • Scheduled refresh and workspace deployment structure
  • Handover documentation and enablement sessions

  • Data Engineering

    Ingestion, transformation and orchestration built as engineered software — version controlled, parameterised, monitored and repeatable.

  • Data Warehousing

    Dimensional warehouses and data marts that hold history, resolve conflicting definitions and stay fast as volumes grow.
