Dashboards & Reports

Many companies know that their data has enormous potential, but in everyday life, the picture is often different. Reports that confuse more than help Dashboards that load slowly or provide incorrect values. Data sources that don't come together cleanly. And decisions that are based less on facts than you would like.

Our Power BI consultants make your data usable, understandable and effective. We design dashboards, models, and governance to fit seamlessly into your organization. With a clear eye for structure, performance and user needs, we develop solutions that accelerate decisions and uncover the potential of your data step by step.

Our services

What we implement for you

Concept & Strategy

Together, we clarify which KPIs are relevant for decision-making, which data sources must be connected and what the technical infrastructure should look like.

Are your reports slow or difficult to navigate?

We build high-performance, well-structured, CI-loyal reports with sophisticated UX design. Integrated into your Microsoft environment, extensible, versioned and documented.

Is your Power BI environment growing out of control?

Who can see what? We structure your Power BI environment with clean workspace concepts, row-level security and clear responsibilities.

Are your reports showing inconsistent figures?

We connect your source systems, model the data cleanly and store it in a data warehouse or lakehouse.

Do you want Power BI to be available directly within your applications?

Power BI embedded directly into your apps. For broad target groups without each user needing their own license. We take care of the technical integration, from setting up Azure to embedding in your interface.

Training & enablement

To guarantee self-service data analysis for employees, we carry out Power BI training & coachings through.

Power BI in practice

Regionalverkehre Start Deutschland
Transport and Logistics Industry
Initial Situation

Individual Excel files, PowerPoint presentations, and more than ten heterogeneous data sources prevented a unified view of operational and personnel key performance indicators.

Solution & Impact

More than ten data sources are merged automatically. The cockpit provides transparency across four active rail networks and approximately 750 million train kilometers traveled annually in regional passenger transport.

Comas Group
Mechanical & Plant Engineering  
Initial Situation

Manual Excel reporting, disparate ERP systems, legacy data sets, and international growth made consistent reporting difficult.

Solution & Impact

A central data platform in Microsoft Fabric connects all relevant data sources. This serves as the foundation for Power BI reports for Finance, Sales, and project controlling, as well as self-service analytics for business departments.

Aachener Grundvermögen
Real Estate
Initial Situation

Around 140 non-integrated data pipelines, data inconsistencies, reliance on Excel, and a lack of code versioning led to redundancy and high maintenance overhead.

Solution & Impact

A centralized Data Vault model standardizes the data structure. Automated dbt jobs handle transformations, while Power BI accesses the consolidated data foundation.

FAQ

Can I also buy Microsoft licenses via taod?

Yes. taod helps companies both in selecting suitable Power BI license models and in providing and managing licenses.

How is Power BI different from Microsoft Fabric?

Power BI is an analytics and visualization tool. Microsoft Fabric is an integrated data platform that bundles multiple analytics and data services. Power BI is often part of Fabric, but it can also be used independently.

When is Power BI a better choice than Tableau?

Power BI is particularly suitable for companies with Microsoft-related infrastructure, a high need for integration into existing systems and standardized reporting. Tableau can have benefits in other scenarios, such as exploratory analysis. The choice depends on the use case, the organization and the existing data landscape.

How can you avoid performance issues in Power BI?

Performance is achieved through optimized data models, reduced data volumes, clean calculation logic and a suitable backend architecture. Technical quality has a direct impact on usage and trust.

Can departments use Power BI independently?

With clear standards, governance and training, departments can use Power BI independently without jeopardizing quality or security. The goal is controlled self-service.
