Power BI Readiness: 2-Wk Assessment

Purchasing Power BI licenses does not come with the much-needed recommendations of understanding whether your current environment and governance process is ready for a successful Power BI rollout. A very important factor to keep in mind is that Power BI is an empty canvas and only offers the insights and improved decision-making once its plugged in and sources data from a suitable environment. Challenges To ensure the many capabilities of Power BI as well as high performance and integrity, much thought needs to go into the current state of your organisation. Without ensuring you’re in the best possible position for rolling out Power BI you can end up generating data chaos, resulting in the integrity of reports being questioned and decision makers losing trust in Power BI. Adatis offers a tried and tested model offering all the necessary recommendations required to avoid the data chaos that many organizations are faced with. The model for this assessment will consist of two phases with each having Business, Technology and Process as focus areas. What you should expect at the end of this assessment is an understanding on whether your organization is ready to roll out Power BI and a list of recommendations on any areas that need improved.
