How we can help: LeapFrogBI’s Power BI services
Leverage our experts for faster delivery
Is your one in-house Power BI expert too busy? Or maybe you don’t have one? No worries, our Microsoft-certified Power BI team can turn that report around for you in short order. We’ll review your request and quickly build the report you tell us you need. As we do it, we’ll update you on our progress.
Integrate data from multiple sources
Power BI can expose data from virtually anything you can imagine. At LeapFrogBI, we’re data integration veterans and data warehousing thought leaders. It’s important to evaluate your data integration options. Hacks and shortcuts are tempting but may cost you more in the long run. We can help you assess the pros and cons of all approaches.
Embed Power BI in other apps
Customers and internal users now expect actionable information everywhere. You can access the Power BI app from your phone or add it to your web page or business app (desktop or mobile) giving your users hassle-free access to visualizations that integrate seamlessly with the environment they’re most familiar.
Use DAX for complex logic and data manipulation
DAX is Power BI’s data manipulation language. It is used for creating measures, dimension members, and tables. DAX is incredibly flexible and powerful but it can also be daunting. Well-designed DAX expressions can unlock invaluable business insight. We will build, test, and document DAX-based elements to bring your Power BI reports to the next level.
“LeapFrogBI helped us save money and time. We were pulling data manually with no insight. Now we are getting a clear picture, we have analysis, and know where we are spending too much time.”
– Justin Wesbrooks, VP Business Services Manager, Centennial Bank

We combine our Power BI experience with our proprietary data warehousing acceleration platform to dramatically reduce time to value for our clients.
FAQ
Each firm will be a little different, but most will follow a similar pattern. Requirements gathering is the first step. Be prepared to explain your needs in business terms. Your requirements will be translated into technical specifications. A developer will use these specifications to source required data and author a report for your review. Often this work will be done in a non-production environment while testing is completed. Once approved, the report will be published to production and made available to your target audience.
Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer. Time to results can span anywhere from minutes to months. The largest factor is often data sourcing and transformation. Another large factor is the overall approach. A point solution built to service the specific report needed today is often the fastest solution initially, but this typically leads to rework down the road. Ask your service provider for an estimate before starting your project.
