- Direct alignment with Microsoft's recommended data architecture
- Access to Microsoft partner pricing on Power BI Pro/Premium licensing
- One of the UK Microsoft Power BI implementation partners with real sector experience

Why UK businesses choose our Microsoft Power BI consultancy Services
Power BI consulting only pays off when the consultants involved understand both the platform and your business. Here's what sets our team apart.
Certified Microsoft Power BI consultant team
Every consultant working on your project is Microsoft-certified — not learning Power BI on your project's time.
Sector-specific dashboard design
We build for how your business actually reports — finance, sales, operations or board-level — not a one-size template.
Governance built in from day one
Row-level security, data classification and access controls are part of the build, not an afterthought.
Transparent, fixed-scope pricing
Clear project pricing with no surprise costs — important when you're scoping a first Power BI rollout.
One partner for the full Microsoft stack
Power BI sits alongside Microsoft 365, Azure and Dynamics 365 support — all from a single Microsoft Solutions Partner.
Training that sticks
We measure success by whether your team can self-serve reports six months later, not just at handover.
Should you hire a Power BI consultant or build reports in-house?
For most businesses beyond a handful of simple reports, a Power BI consultancy pays for itself in avoided rework, faster time-to-value and stronger governance.

|---|---|---|
| Data model & DAX expertise | ✓ Certified specialists | Varies widely |
| Governance & row-level security | ✓ Built in from the start | ✗ Often retrofitted |
| Time to first working dashboard | ✓ Weeks | Often months of trial and error |
| Licensing & cost optimisation | ✓ Partner pricing guidance | ✗ Frequently over-licensed |

What is Power BI, and how does it actually work?
Before choosing a Power BI consultancy, it helps to understand what the platform does and where it fits against tools you may already use.
What is Power BI?
Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform for turning raw data into interactive dashboards and reports — without needing to be a data expert.
Watch: Introducing Power BI →How does Power BI work?
It connects to your existing systems, models and cleans the data, then presents it through live dashboards that update automatically as new data arrives.
Power BI vs Excel
Excel suits small, static datasets. Power BI is built for live, multi-source reporting at scale, with far better performance as your data grows.

Power BI Overview
Common questions about our Power BI consulting services
What is a Microsoft Power BI Partner?
A Microsoft Power BI Partner is an IT and software provider recognised by Microsoft for delivering Power BI consulting, implementation and support services. NetMonkeys holds Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and provides Power BI consulting services, dashboard development, data migration and training to UK businesses.
What is Power BI?
Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence platform. It connects to your existing systems, pulls in data from multiple sources, and turns it into interactive dashboards and reports so you can track performance and make data-driven decisions.
How does Power BI work?
Power BI connects to data sources such as Excel, SQL databases, Dynamics 365 and cloud services, models and cleans that data, then presents it through interactive dashboards and reports. Reports can refresh automatically and be shared securely across a business.
Power BI vs Excel — which is better for reporting?
Excel works well for smaller, static datasets, but Power BI is built for live, multi-source reporting at scale. Power BI updates automatically, handles far larger datasets, and lets multiple users interact with the same dashboard in real time — something Excel struggles with as data volume grows.
Why hire a Power BI consultant instead of building reports in-house?
A Power BI consultant brings experience in data modelling, DAX, governance and dashboard design that most in-house teams haven't built up. Hiring a Power BI consultancy is typically faster and more cost-effective than trial-and-error in-house development, especially for first implementations.
How much do Power BI consulting services cost in the UK?
Power BI consulting services in the UK are typically scoped per project or as an ongoing managed service, depending on the number of data sources, dashboards and users involved. Contact NetMonkeys for a fixed-price quote tailored to your data estate.
Do you provide Power BI migration services?
Yes. NetMonkeys provides Power BI migration services for businesses moving off Excel-based reporting, legacy BI tools, or consolidating multiple reporting systems into a single governed Power BI environment.
Do you deliver Power BI implementations for the public sector and government?
Yes. NetMonkeys delivers Power BI implementations for public sector and government organisations, including transparency and statutory reporting dashboards, data governance aligned to GDPR and ICO requirements, and integration with legacy case-management and finance systems used across councils and public bodies.
