The short answer

What is business intelligence?

Business intelligence (BI) is the combination of data, models and dashboards that lets a business see its performance clearly and make decisions faster. A good BI setup answers the same core questions every week without manual work.

The value is not the chart. It is the agreed definition behind each number, so everyone in the meeting is looking at the same truth.

Your reporting stack

Where dashboard development fits in your reporting workflow

Dashboards only help when they answer a real business question and use numbers everyone trusts. We join at the data model and the KPI definitions, then keep the reports refreshing as the business changes.

FAQ

Questions about Business Intelligence and Dashboards

Cannot see your question? Ask it in the enquiry form and you will get a direct answer.

See all FAQs
Should I use Power BI or Excel?

Excel suits smaller teams and simpler reports. Power BI is better for larger data, several sources, sharing across a team and automatic refresh. We recommend the lighter option that does the job.

Do I need a Power BI license?

Viewing shared reports usually needs a Power BI Pro license for each user, unless your organization has Premium capacity. We explain the options before building.

Can you connect to our existing data?

Yes. We connect to Excel files, CSV exports and SQL databases, and can advise on connecting other business systems.

Will we be able to update it ourselves?

Yes. We document the model and train your team so you can add data and adjust visuals.

Can you build a dashboard for an NGO or program?

Yes. Indicator dashboards for monitoring and evaluation are one of our specialties.
