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.
