Power BI Consulting in Derby
Power BI advice for Derby organisations, where licensing costs are routinely higher than they need to be and nobody has examined why. Per-user licences, per-user premium and dedicated capacity suit very different distributions of readers and authors — and organisations frequently pay for one model while their actual usage pattern fits another.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every person who opens a report holds a paid licence, and the majority of them view one dashboard once a month.
What you get
What we deliver
- Licensing modelled against actual authors, readers and their frequency
- Capacity assessed where the reader count makes per-user licensing expensive
- Workspace structure rationalised, since content in personal workspaces is invisible
- Content audited for reports nobody opens, which consume refresh capacity
- Refresh scheduling reviewed where limits are constraining data freshness
- Governance established so the estate does not return to its previous state

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Power BI Consulting in Derby — common questions
- How do we know which licensing suits us?
- From the ratio of authors to readers and how often readers actually open something. A large reading population makes capacity attractive; a small team of heavy authors rarely does — and the crossover is calculable from usage data the platform already holds.
- Why do personal workspaces cause problems?
- Because the content in them is invisible to everyone else and disappears when the person leaves. Reports that departments depend on frequently live in one individual's workspace, which is discovered at the worst possible moment.
- Does unused content cost anything?
- Refresh capacity, and attention. Datasets refreshing on schedule for reports nobody opens consume the same resources as ones people use, and in a constrained environment they can be the reason something important refreshes less often than it should.
- How do we stop the sprawl returning?
- With a small amount of governance applied consistently — where content is published, who may create workspaces, and a periodic review of what is unused. Without it the estate returns to its previous state within a year of any clean-up.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
