What is PowerBI ?
What is PowerBI ?
Power BI is a solution from Microsoft and is the collective name for an array of cloud-based apps and services that help organisations collate, manage, and analyse data from a variety of sources, through a user-friendly interface.
Business intelligence tools like Power BI can be used for a multitude of purposes.
Primarily, Power BI pulls data together and processes it, turning it into intelligible insights, often using visually compelling and easy-to-process charts, graphs and reports. This allows users to generate and share clear and useful snapshots of what’s happening in their business.
Power BI connects to a range of data sources, from basic Excel spreadsheets to databases, and both cloud-based and on-premise apps.
Power BI is an umbrella term and can refer to either a Windows desktop application called Power BI Desktop, an online SaaS (Software as a Service) service called Power BI Service, or mobile Power BI apps available on Windows phones and tablets, as well as for iOS and Android devices.

What our Business Intelligence Clients say?
What our Business Intelligence Clients say?
"Delivered so much in so little time. Was sceptical initially on what Power BI could do, but Lean Cash Solutions quickly gained understanding of our business, data and requirements to develop a roadmap with key deliverables clearly marked out. By primarily using existing data from our accounting system and expertly merging it with multiple other sources, we now have a solution that far exceeds our expectations. Accounting and IT skill mix was an ideal fit for our business. Power BI agility and processing muscle provides instant insights and answers to questions and has had a huge impact on how we view and run our business"
Rory Williams, Managing Director, Countrystyle Foods, Waterford

"From early ‘proof of concept’ stage, quickly learned that Lean Cash Solutions held skills to unlock our data. We now have simplified and instant access to valuable project data which previously had been onerous and time-consuming to extract from accounting systems and spreadsheets, saving the company up to 10 hours per week.
Gained early understanding of our business mechanic and business problems and designed innovative solutions to create joined-up views of our data, both at summary and detail levels. In addition, brought his experiences from other industries to flag other unexplored opportunities to use company data in ways which had not been considered prior to this.
Up to date information is now accessible live to our business users, in finance but also in sales and operations, through a series of self-service dashboards that allow users to browse and drilldown for understanding and learnings of a project’s performance "
