Migrating SSRS dashboards and reports to Power BI

Business Needs

The client wanted to modernize their SSRS-based legacy reporting systems developed for the Operations division including pipeline reports, ageing, and operational dashboards to track day-to-day operations. They wanted to move to a cloud platform with minimal operational overhead and chose Power BI/Snowflake for their future state. 

 

Selection Process

The client selected KPI over multiple vendors through a rigorous RFP process. KPI's expertise in Microsoft technologies especially on the Power platform along with KPI's strong partnership tiers with Microsoft technologies were the key differentiators for the client to choose KPI over other vendors. In addition, KPI's blended shore project execution model to minimize cost and risk for the client was another major factor.
