Warehouses, semantic models and reporting the business trusts
Agilus builds analytics and business intelligence on governed data: dimensional warehouses, semantic models, Power BI and paginated reporting, with metric definitions the whole organisation agrees on. This is the Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence knowledge area of DAMA-DMBOK2 — delivered by people who fix the data first, which is why our dashboards do not get argued with.
Why Analytics Programmes Lose The Business's Trust
Three departments quote three different revenue figures in the same meeting — all technically correct, each computed from its own extract with its own definition. From that moment the analytics platform is dead: every number will be challenged and every report will be shadow-rebuilt in Excel.
The fix is not another dashboard. It is governed data feeding governed definitions: one warehouse, one semantic model, one place where “revenue” is defined — and everything downstream inherits it.
What Our Analytics Engagement Delivers
Warehouse and platform architecture
Dimensional design and modern warehouse build — on Azure, AWS or on-premise — shaped by what your decisions need, not by what a vendor sells.
Semantic models and governed metrics
One authoritative model where every business metric is defined once. Built for Power BI and tabular platforms, with row-level security where roles require it.
Reporting and dashboards
Executive dashboards, operational reporting and paginated (pixel-perfect) reports — including modernisation of legacy SSRS estates to Power BI.
Descriptive to predictive
Once the foundation holds: trend analysis, forecasting and the step into machine-learning models — delivered with AI Solutions.
Analytics on trusted data
Where quality is the blocker, we fix it first with Data Quality and Master Data Management — because aggregating duplicates just produces confident wrong answers faster.
Common questions
What is business intelligence?
Business intelligence (BI) is the practice of turning an organisation’s data into information for decision-making — through data warehouses, semantic models, dashboards and reports. It is the Data Warehousing & BI knowledge area of DAMA-DMBOK2, and its value depends directly on the quality and governance of the data feeding it.
Why do different reports show different numbers?
Because each report computes its own version of the metric from its own extract — different filters, different timing, different definitions. The remedy is a governed semantic layer: each metric defined once, in one model, that every report consumes. This is a data governance solution, not a reporting-tool feature.
Does Agilus work with Power BI?
Yes. Agilus designs and builds Power BI solutions end-to-end — semantic models, dashboards, paginated reports and governance — including migrating legacy SSRS reporting estates to Power BI.
