    Action BI builds and supports business intelligence solutions that drive decision making

    And we love it!

  • Let data tell the story

    Action BI has a strong reputation for making your data tell a story, for translating the numbers into actionable insights that lead to real world change. A successful proof-of-concept delivered quickly and with visible impact leads to stakeholders who are energised and engaged. Power BI reports quickly become a central focus and a source of new ideas as to where the next quick wins and business change should be delivered.

     
    Action BI typically delivers business transformation by delivering with three themes:
     
    • CEO / Board View - high level view of the business performance
    • Operational View - what do the team need to do next to ensure delivery of the leadership team objectives, driving 'Accountability through Visibility'
    • Quality and Governance - a proven data governance pattern to ensure your teams can keep your data correct and up-to-date

    Who We Are

    We’re reluctant to pigeon hole ourselves as Power BI Experts but truth is, Power BI has been a huge enabler in many of our projects.

     

    However, it is that wider understanding of what makes a business tick, what the frustrations are, how to pull together data from disparate systems, how to leverage Azure and the Microsoft Data Platform stack - that’s what makes Action BI such an incredible partner to have in your data journey.

    Data Governance

    We have proven methods to transform the unmanaged chaos of ungoverned data into a process that makes data governance like ‘shooting fish in a barrel’.

     

    All the data quality issues are gathered into one trusted system that clearly defines the monetary value associated with each piece of ‘bad data’, how it should be fixed and by whom.

     

    Once a ‘rule’ is defined, then even your future employees will know what to do if that problem ever crops up again.

    The Extra Mile

    We go the extra mile to help our customers ‘heal’ their data, even where it is spread across multiple systems. In order to build the right solutions for the future it is so critical to get started with what you have.

     

    Whether that’s cleaning up your customer, employee, asset or project records, getting the data right during those first phases of development will quickly gain the trust of your stakeholders. It will inspire them to get involved, bring their requirements to the table and to earn their buy-in.

    The Benefits

    One of our customers calls it their ‘Wall of Pain’. That list of manual data quality checks that they needed to carry out every month to ensure that the Excel spreadsheets from three different source systems can be matched up to produce those macros that produce those reports. Sound familiar...?

     

    This type of governance brings a sense of calm and trust to your internal processes. Those key people in your business (you know who they are) can happily go on holidays knowing that the data governance they helped to define - can happen without them!
