2. Accelerate your adoption and success with Power BI

We’ve helped many organisations on their Power BI journey, and we’ve distilled our experience and learnings into the?Altis Power BI Framework. The Framework is a collection of best practice templates, guidelines, standards, and processes that will accelerate your adoption and success with Power BI. The Framework has been successfully implemented for our clients in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Altis Power BI Framework is comprised of four main components, which can be purchased separately or as a bundle:

• Altis Power BI Template: Allows your team to quickly create functionally rich, high quality, and consistent looking reports.
• Altis Power BI Framework Documentation: A collection of best practice standards, guidelines, and templates that will support your team in the end-to-end Power BI solution delivery process.
• Altis Power BI Insights: This solution allows you to track the usage of Power BI objects across your entire estate and understand your licensing costs.
• Altis Power BI Training: Altis’?private?and?public?training courses empower your teams to develop best practice Power BI solutions.

Please reply to this email if you’d like to schedule a demonstration of the?Altis Power BI Framework?and discuss how it might be suitable for your needs. You can also register for our upcoming free webinars listed further below.

Our mission at Altis is to guide our clients to become successful data-driven organisations. We are Data & Analytics experts, it’s all we’ve done since we started in 1998. We don’t sell any software, which means we listen carefully to what you need and design solutions that deliver tangible business benefits for you rather than recommending a solution for our own financial gain. We deliver value for our customers in a number of ways, whether it’s helping you create a Data Roadmap to guide your future endeavours, building Data Platforms and Data Visualisation solutions to support organisation-wide decision making, delivering toolset and best practices training, or providing Managed Services for your existing Data & Analytics solutions.

Please feel free to get in touch, as I'd love to catch up with you to learn about what you're looking to achieve in the Data & Analytics space, share how we've helped clients in similar situations, and see if we might be able to help guide you to become a successful data-driven organisation. Please feel free to share this newsletter with your networks, or better still, I welcome an introduction. ?

Thanks for reading!
