Power BI Performance Optimization: 1-Week Workshop

Did you implement Power BI hoping to leverage the platform’s easy-to-use interface and reliable performance? Are you stuck with slow reports, low adoption, and frustrated users? Power BI performance can make or break a business’ data-driven culture. High-performing reports enable business users to make data-based decisions that benefit your business in the long term. Low-performing reports discourage users from even using BI solutions. During our workshop, we’ll help you optimize your Power BI, reducing the load time of your reports by up to 70%*. We will assess the back end of your Power BI implementation and identify key areas where you can improve performance, including your reports, data ecosystem, data architecture, and data models. We will help you develop a roadmap to improve the performance of your reports and dashboards.
