A Power BI consultancy that delivers reports people actually use

What a Power BI consultancy is really for

Most Power BI projects don't fail because the tool can't do the job. They stall because nobody agreed what to measure, the underlying data was messier than expected, or the finished report never quite made it into the way people work. A good Power BI consultancy fixes all three - not just the pretty visuals at the end.

At Axon we work with UK SMBs and mid-market teams who already run on Microsoft 365. We plug into your existing data - finance, CRM, operations, HR, whatever matters - and build the reporting layer that turns it into decisions. If you're weighing up Microsoft Fabric underneath, we'll tell you when it earns its place and when standard Power BI is plenty.

Where we help

How we work

• Discovery. A short workshop to agree the questions the business actually wants answered and the data behind them.
• Prototype. A working dashboard on real data in two to three weeks, so you can react to something concrete instead of a slide.
• Model and build. We shape the data model, write reusable DAX measures, then build the reports properly around them.
• Rollout. Workspaces, security, licensing, training and a governance model your team can run without us.
• Ongoing care. Optional monthly support for enhancements, new datasets and the inevitable "can we add one more thing?" requests.

Signs you're ready for a Power BI consultancy

• Different teams are quoting different numbers for the same metric.
• The monthly board pack is stitched together from five spreadsheets and two exports.
• You've bought Power BI licences but only a handful of people actually open a report.
• Existing dashboards are slow, brittle or nobody's sure how they were built.
• You want to give teams self-serve reporting without losing control of the numbers.

Why UK businesses choose Axon

We're a Microsoft-focused consultancy - Power BI, Fabric, Copilot and Power Platform - so Power BI isn't a side gig. That focus means we've seen the same failure modes plenty of times and know how to avoid them. We work in plain English, price in fixed stages, and stay UK-based so you're talking to real people in your working hours.

Power BI also sits at the centre of our wider managed intelligence approach. Getting reporting right is usually the fastest, safest step towards using Copilot and AI on the same data later - so the work you do here pays back twice.

Straight answers to the questions we get most

What does a Power BI consultancy actually do? We help you decide what to measure, connect and model the underlying data, build the reports, then embed them into how people work in Teams and Microsoft 365 so they get used.

How long does a Power BI project take? A focused first dashboard is usually live in two to four weeks. A broader rollout with proper modelling and governance runs across two to four months.

Do we need Fabric? No. Power BI works with plenty of sources. Fabric becomes useful when you want one governed data platform under it - we'll tell you honestly when that's worth it.
