Common Enterprise Deployment Challenges
We have solved these challenges across 500+ enterprise deployments. Here is what organizations typically face and how we address them.
Shadow BI Sprawl
Hundreds of ungoverned reports spread across personal workspaces. We implement workspace consolidation, certification processes, and usage analytics to bring order to chaos while preserving valuable content.
Licensing Complexity
Pro vs Premium Per User vs Premium Capacity vs Fabric - the options are overwhelming. We model your usage patterns against each licensing tier to find the optimal cost/performance balance for your organization.
Gateway Performance
On-premises data gateways often become bottlenecks. We architect gateway clusters with load balancing, plan refresh schedules to avoid contention, and implement DirectQuery optimization where appropriate.
Compliance Requirements
HIPAA, SOC 2, and FedRAMP each impose specific controls on data handling. We configure sensitivity labels, DLP policies, conditional access, and audit logging to satisfy your compliance framework.
Low User Adoption
Deploying Power BI is easy. Getting people to use it is hard. We build champion programs, create role-specific training paths, and establish office hours to drive adoption from 30% to 90%+ active users.
Multi-Region Complexity
Global organizations need data residency controls, regional gateways, and capacity in multiple Azure regions. We design multi-geo architectures that comply with GDPR and local data sovereignty requirements.
