Audit trail, data lineage, access controls, and sensitivity labels built into the reporting architecture from the first design session.
Our Process For Power BI Delivery
A six-stage delivery process – from requirements discovery through governed production analytics.
Discovery & Requirements Definition
Stakeholder workshops, existing report inventory, data source assessment, KPI definition, and user persona mapping – ensuring every Power BI solution is built around the decisions it needs to enable, not the data that happens to be available.
Data Model & Architecture Design
Semantic model design, star-schema architecture, source-to-target mapping, DAX measure catalogue, RLS framework design, workspace architecture, and deployment pipeline plan – reviewed and approved before a single report visual is created.
Data Pipeline & Transformation Development
Power Query transformation development, dataflow architecture, gateway configuration, incremental refresh strategy, and data source connectivity – validated against data quality requirements and refresh SLAs before report development begins.
Report & Dashboard Development
Dashboard and report build – visual design, DAX measure development, drill-through configuration, bookmarks, dynamic filtering, and mobile layout – iteratively validated against business requirements with structured stakeholder review checkpoints throughout.
Testing, Governance & Security Review
Data accuracy validation, RLS testing across every user role, performance profiling, accessibility review, sensitivity label application, and governance documentation – before production deployment approval is granted.
Production Deployment, Training & Ongoing Support
Production deployment with workspace governance, user access provisioning, adoption training, usage monitoring configuration, and support SLA – sustaining report accuracy and performance as data volumes, user demand, and reporting requirements evolve.

FAQs on Power BI Consulting & Development
Have a question? We’re here to help.
What is Power BI consulting and what does Kernshell deliver?
Power BI consulting covers the full spectrum from strategy and architecture through dashboard development, data modelling, governance, and ongoing optimisation. Kernshell delivers end-to-end – requirements workshops, semantic model design, DAX development, report build, RLS implementation, CoE framework, user training, and production support – with full accountability for analytical accuracy and business adoption, not just technical delivery.
How does Kernshell connect Power BI to our existing data sources?
Kernshell connects Power BI to your full data landscape – cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure Synapse), on-premises SQL Server and Oracle databases, ERP systems (SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle EBS), CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot), SaaS APIs, SharePoint, and flat file sources. We configure on-premises data gateways, incremental refresh policies, and dataflow architectures ensuring data is current, reliable, and refreshed within your SLA requirements.
What is a Power BI semantic model and why does it matter?
A semantic model (formerly dataset) is the governed, certified data layer that sits between your raw data and your Power BI reports. Without a well-designed semantic model, every report developer creates their own calculations independently – producing conflicting KPIs, disputed metrics, and reports that cannot be trusted. Kernshell designs enterprise semantic models using star-schema architecture, certified DAX measures, defined business logic, and row-level security – ensuring every report in the organisation draws from the same trusted, governed source of truth.
How long does it take Kernshell to deliver a Power BI solution?
A focused executive dashboard or departmental reporting platform reaches production in 4–8 weeks. Enterprise semantic model builds and legacy BI migration programmes are scoped with clear milestones following discovery – typically 10–20 weeks depending on data source complexity, report estate size, and governance requirements. Performance optimisation engagements and CoE implementations are scoped following an initial audit, typically 4–6 weeks.
Can Kernshell migrate our existing reports from SSRS, Tableau, or Cognos to Power BI?
Yes – legacy BI migration is a structured Kernshell service. We conduct a full report inventory and complexity assessment, prioritise migration sequencing by business criticality, rebuild reports in Power BI with validated parity against the original, conduct stakeholder sign-off workshops, and manage the legacy platform decommission. We have migrated report estates from SSRS, Crystal Reports, Cognos, Business Objects, Tableau, Qlik, and MicroStrategy – without disrupting business-critical financial, operational, or regulatory reporting.
How does Kernshell ensure data security in Power BI?
Security is a first-order design constraint. Every Kernshell Power BI engagement includes row-level security (RLS) implementation validated across every user role, sensitivity label application via Microsoft Purview, workspace access policy design, service principal authentication for embedded scenarios, audit log configuration, and data residency compliance where required. For regulated industries, we document the full security architecture for audit and regulatory submission.
What is Microsoft Fabric and should we be considering it?
Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft’s unified data and analytics platform – combining data engineering (Pipelines, Notebooks), data warehousing (Fabric Warehouse), data science, real-time analytics (KQL), and Power BI into a single SaaS platform built on OneLake. For organisations already invested in Power BI and Azure, Fabric is the natural evolution – enabling Direct Lake reporting against Fabric Lakehouse data without the performance penalty of import mode or the maintenance overhead of DirectQuery. Kernshell provides Fabric readiness assessments and end-to-end Fabric implementations for organisations ready to consolidate their data and analytics toolchain.
