Power BI Consulting
Power BI Consulting & Dashboards for UAE Businesses
Design, build, and roll out Power BI dashboards and data models that leadership actually uses — from a first management dashboard to a well-governed reporting setup.
How it works
From Sources to a Governed Report
A Power BI project settles the data model and the measures before any chart is drawn, and stays governed after publishing.
1 Sources
Excel files, databases, cloud applications and APIs.
Access and quality reviewed
2 Semantic model
A clean model with sensible relationships.
Definitions written down
3 Measures
Measure definitions written in DAX and documented.
Reconciled to source systems
4 Report
Layouts wireframed with you first, so the build matches how your team reads it.
Published and documented
5 Refresh and governance
Scheduled refresh, access design and row-level security where needed.
Teams Moving to, or Fixing, Power BI
Power BI is only as useful as the model and the questions behind it.
Teams Moving from Excel to Power BI
Businesses whose monthly reporting is assembled by hand in spreadsheets and who want it refreshed, interactive, and consistent.
Businesses with Dashboards Nobody Trusts
Organisations with existing Power BI reports that are slow, confusing, or disagree with finance — and need them reviewed and repaired.
Leaders Who Need a Management View
Owners and managers who want one clear dashboard for sales, operations, or projects instead of chasing several reports.
PMOs and Project-Driven Teams
Teams that need consistent reporting on project status, schedule, and budget variance across a portfolio.
What a Power BI Engagement Delivers
Concrete outputs, agreed up front, so you know what you are getting before work begins.
Management & Executive Dashboards
Focused dashboards designed around the decisions of the people who use them, wireframed with you before anything is built.
Data Model
A clean model with sensible relationships and documented measures (written in DAX), so numbers stay consistent as reports grow.
Data Connections & Scheduled Refresh
Connections to sources such as Excel, databases, and cloud applications, with automated refresh — including a gateway where data sits on-premises.
Access & Sharing Design
How reports are published and shared, and row-level security where different users must see different data.
Review & Optimisation of Existing Reports
An assessment of current Power BI reports for performance, clarity, and model problems, with a prioritised list of fixes.

A walkthrough and documentation so your team can maintain and extend what was built.

Common Questions
What does Power BI consulting include?
Typically: agreeing what the dashboard must answer, reviewing and connecting your data, designing the data model and measures, building and validating the reports, setting up refresh and sharing, and training your team. Reviews and repairs of existing reports are also common.
Do we need Power BI Pro or Premium licences?
It depends on how many people view and share reports and where they are published. Microsoft's licensing changes over time, so we check what your setup needs against Microsoft's current licensing documentation before you buy anything.
Can you improve dashboards we already have?
Yes. A review looks at report performance, clarity, and the underlying data model, and produces a prioritised list of fixes. Often the biggest gains come from correcting the model rather than redesigning the visuals.
Can Power BI connect to our existing systems?
Power BI supports many sources, including Excel files, SQL databases, cloud applications, and APIs. Which connections are practical for you depends on your systems and access, which we check during scoping.
Do you provide Power BI dashboards for businesses in Dubai?

Is ZentexAI affiliated with Microsoft?
