The project aims to migrate the company's existing Power BI Premium environment to Microsoft Fabric. This migration includes switching existing data models, reports, and dashboards to the new platform to benefit from the extended features and improved performance of Microsoft Fabric. The solution is deployed in various regions worldwide to provide a consistent reporting and analytics environment for all locations.
Requirements analysis, migration planning, data migration, adjusting reports and dashboards, testing and validation, training and support, deployment and monitoring, regional rollout.
After the global rollout of Power BI, the company's data model grew very quickly. End users repeatedly noticed that report performance was very poor. In this project, the performance of reports and data loading is to be optimized.
Analysis of source systems and optimization of data types, analysis and optimization of dynamic row-level security (RLS), analysis and optimization of DAX measures, removal of calculated columns.
Multiple Power BI semantic models need to be deployed automatically in parallel to different regions (USA, Switzerland, Germany, Austria) during deployment. The key requirement is that no downtime can occur during deployment.
Planning and implementing a workflow, developing DevOps pipelines, creating Power BI pipelines, conducting requirements analysis and designing the solution architecture.
To get a better overview of the Power BI infrastructure, a report was implemented that reads the metadata of workspaces and Power BI datasets and presents it in a report for power users. The goal was to analyze which datasets exist in a workspace, how large they are, and which partitions were processed. The analysis of performance across all workspaces was also in focus. With the help of Log Analytics, we were able to set up a detailed report and answer questions like: Which dataset consumes the most resources? Which report is inefficient? Which user consumes the most resources?
Enabling Log Analytics on various workspaces. Collecting logs, data preparation, creating a Power BI dataset based on a KQL database, report design.
The company built a global profit and loss reporting for its clients. Each country had different source systems that were consolidated in Power BI. Various timesheet systems and ERP systems were linked and loaded into a semantic data model. Based on this data, a unified global report was created.
Requirements analysis, data acquisition, data preparation, creation of the semantic data model, implementing security and access controls, integration and consolidation, testing and validation, automating deployment, report creation, training and documentation.

A Power BI app was planned, created, and published for a uniform design (CI) of all reports, including access design.
Requirements analysis, solution design, app design, publishing, access design.
An existing SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular cube was to be migrated to a new modern platform Power BI Premium. Source code management plays a central role. Also, multiple Power BI developers need to be able to work on the same model in parallel. As part of the migration, all 50 reports are revised and moved to a new design.
Configuring the Git repository, creating a JSON theme for Power BI, requirements analysis, solution design, cube migration, report migration.
For the conveyor system, the client created a Power BI data model. After the reporting went live, users complained about poor performance in the reports. The goal was to analyze and speed up the data model so that acceptance of the self-service solution would not suffer.
Performance analysis of tabular data models, performance optimization in the tabular data model, DAX measure optimization.
Power BI was chosen as the standard reporting tool. All Power BI reports are to be made available to everyone. The central access point for reports should be a Power BI app and a Teams channel. Power users must be able to maintain existing reports and develop new ones.
Training of departments (Power BI, DAX), design and setup of the self-service platform (Teams, Power BI portal, Power BI apps, Power BI workspaces).
Since the introduction of Power BI, there were no standards for using data sources for Power BI in the company. The SSAS cube, Excel or a relational database were used in parts. In this context, a standard data source for Power BI was created. The goal was to review all data models for content and switch them to the harmonized standard data source.
As-is analysis of Power BI reports and data models, performance analysis of tabular data models, performance optimization in the tabular data model.
Sales figures are sent daily and weekly to external partners. The department had to manually prepare these figures from various source systems and Excel documents. The goal was to automate reporting and minimize manual effort.
Requirements analysis, solution design, connecting various data sources (SSAS cube, SQL databases, ORACLE DWH), automating standard reports, creating Tableau dashboards, creating SSRS reports.
Weekly sales figures from online shops were prepared in Excel and presented to management. The Excel reports were very time-consuming to maintain and somewhat outdated. With the introduction of Power BI, the reports should get a new design and bring more interactivity to meetings.
Requirements analysis, design and development of tabular data model, creation of Power BI reports & dashboards, implementation of row-level security, preparing KPIs and measures in DAX.
Every order placed by the customer in an online shop goes through many hurdles before becoming a contract. In this context, a forecasting logic had to be developed. This forecast must predict at the end of the month how many orders will actually be activated. Based on this forecast, the company can adjust management and marketing. Also, most contracts are handled through shops and partners.
Requirements analysis, data modeling, report creation in Power BI, design and implementation of role-based report access. Implementing forecasting logic in Power BI with DAX.
Sustainable products are becoming increasingly important to customers and retail groups. Manual Excel reports are to be replaced by standard SSRS reports. The reporting should not only include standard reports but also spread a self-service BI culture. Microsoft Power BI was introduced for self-service BI requirements. The entire reporting landscape is supplied with data from a data warehouse.
ETL development, data model development, preparing KPIs and measures in DAX, data modeling in Power BI, report creation, permission design for Power BI Report Server.
Digital transformation also affects energy suppliers. The reduction of fossil energy production and the shift to decentralized energy supply drive the development from classic supplier to solution provider. Energy as a product is becoming more interesting. Besides classic supply business, new business areas are opening. Starting with digitizing electricity meters to providing solutions in power generation/storage, heating and smart home. For solution sales in smart home, an online shop was set up to serve this market. To operate and steer this shop effectively, a dashboard was needed to show current sales performance and goal achievement (values and quantities).

To support the merger of two large telecom companies, the different data warehouse systems need to be consolidated. This requires strategic consulting on architecture and technology, as well as downstream project-based work. The goal is a comprehensive consolidation of existing warehouse solutions within both companies and a rebuild in certain areas.
