Unlock data silos and share insights with colleagues
We understand the challenges faced by education institutions - universities, colleges and schools operate as data-rich environments with multiple disconnected systems, creating barriers between valuable insights and the academic and administrative staff who need them.
Our Microsoft Power BI service for the education sector combines technical expertise with deep education domain knowledge. We bridge the gap between your IT teams and the wider organisation, creating solutions tailored to your educational context. Our service includes:
- Strategic data architecture consulting.
Get expert advice on unifying data across separate academic, administrative, and student management systems. We help create a coherent data strategy that works with your existing IT infrastructure.
- Seamless integration with education management information systems.
Connect your VLE, student information system, and other education-specific platforms into unified dashboards. Create a complete picture of the student journey and institutional performance.
- Custom Power BI education dashboard development service.
Quickly implement and share education data dashboards and reports that answer your most pressing questions. We develop Power BI solutions collaboratively, transferring knowledge to your team throughout the process.
- Power BI report sharing service optimisation.
Maximise your investment in Microsoft's ecosystem. Configure sharing, security, and automation features to ensure the right insights reach the right people at the right time.
- Highly effective bespoke Power BI training programs.
Customised training for different stakeholders - from IT staff to academic leadership. We develop capacity within your organisation to sustain and build upon our solutions.
