Power BI Platform · Power BI

The reporting tool your business already knows.

Power BI puts governed self-service reporting in front of the whole organisation on infrastructure most Microsoft shops already own, connected directly to Snowflake, with Copilot to build and explain reports in natural language.

What changes

Different ways of working, not a longer feature list.

Extracts feeding a local Power BI model DirectQuery and import straight from Snowflake

The report reads from the governed warehouse, not a copy on someone's laptop. One version of the number, refreshed on a schedule you control.

A handful of report authors and a queue Governed self-service across the business

Certified datasets let analysts build their own reports on trusted data, while the data team keeps control of the definitions underneath.

Dozens of conflicting versions of the same report Endorsed and certified content people can rely on

Workspaces, endorsement and sensitivity labels turn a sprawl of PBIX files into a governed catalogue of reports with clear ownership.

Agentic copilots

Copilot in Power BI: from question to report.

Copilot in Power BI lets people build visuals, generate DAX and get narrative summaries of what a report is showing, in natural language, against governed datasets.

Copilot in Power BI

AI for report building and explanation


Ask for a report page and Copilot assembles the visuals. Ask what changed and it writes the narrative. Ask for a measure and it drafts the DAX, all bound to the dataset's governed model.

  • Builds report pages from a prompt
  • Generates DAX measures and queries
  • Writes narrative summaries of the data
  • Works against certified, governed datasets
The value conversation

Not the visual gallery. The reasons Power BI on Snowflake pays back.

Transformation

Reporting moves off spreadsheets and local extracts onto governed, refreshable content, without retraining the organisation on an unfamiliar tool.

Business process improvement

Certified datasets and clear workspace ownership replace the monthly hunt for “the right version” of a report.

Optimisation

DirectQuery pushes the work to Snowflake's elastic compute; import mode with governed refresh handles the rest. The model matches the workload.

Cost saving

For organisations already on Microsoft 365, Power BI is often the lowest-incremental-cost path to governed reporting at scale.

Future-proofing

A governed semantic model on Snowflake feeds Power BI today and Fabric, embedded analytics and Copilot experiences as the estate evolves.

Technology partnership

Power BI, delivered on a governed Snowflake foundation.

We build the certified semantic layer Power BI connects to, set up workspace governance, and establish the standards that keep self-service from becoming sprawl.

Governed semantic model

Certified datasets modelled on Snowflake, so every report reads from the same trusted definitions.

Workspace governance

Endorsement, sensitivity labels and clear workspace ownership, so self-service does not turn into sprawl.

Distribution standards

Report distribution and lifecycle standards set up from the start, not patched in once the estate has already grown.

Platform and habits together

Think, Build, Grow: we deliver the platform and the reporting habits that make it stick, together.
