Why Bristol

Operational reporting for Bristol engineering and aerospace

Bristol's economy runs on engineering: aerospace at Filton, defence suppliers, and the manufacturers that feed both. These businesses track tolerances, throughput and project burn in spreadsheets that break monthly and hide problems until review meetings. We connect Power BI directly to ERP and MES systems, SAP, Dynamics, Sage and the shop-floor databases behind them, so production dashboards update overnight instead of waiting for someone to export a CSV. The other half of Bristol is agencies and studios, and they bring the opposite problem: plenty of campaign and revenue data, no consolidated view. We build client-facing reporting agencies present in pitches and monthly reviews. Engineers and account managers get the same thing either way: numbers they can self-serve instead of emailing finance.

POWER BI QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions UK businesses ask us most about Power BI.

What is Microsoft Power BI used for?

Power BI is Microsoft's analytics tool for turning raw data into reports and dashboards your team can actually read. You pull figures from spreadsheets, databases and online systems into one place, then spot trends and answer business questions without waiting on a manual report.

Is Power BI difficult to use?

Reading a Power BI dashboard takes no training at all. Building one takes a little, and most people create useful reports after a short session. We handle the harder data work behind the scenes, so your team only deals with the parts they need.

Can Power BI connect to my CRM, finance system or Excel?

Yes. Power BI pulls data from hundreds of sources, including Excel, SQL databases, cloud services and most CRM and finance platforms. We bring those feeds together so one dashboard shows the whole picture instead of figures scattered across systems.

How long does a Power BI project take?

It depends on the scope. A focused first dashboard can go live in a few weeks, while bigger rollouts run in phases. We agree the timeline up front so you know what to expect at each stage.

Is Power BI secure?

Yes. You control who sees what with role-based access, your data is encrypted, and Power BI ties into your existing Microsoft security and meets recognised compliance standards. If you would rather keep data on your own servers, Power BI Report Server gives you an on-premises option.

Do you provide ongoing support and improvements?

Yes. We provide ongoing support, train your users and keep refining your dashboards as the business changes, so your reports stay accurate and useful rather than going stale after launch.

Can Power BI connect to SharePoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Azure DevOps?

Yes. We build Power BI dashboards on SharePoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Azure DevOps, Dynamics 365, Google Analytics, Snowflake and SQL, and we can embed live dashboards straight into SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

Can you export a Power BI dashboard to PowerPoint?

Yes. You can export any Power BI report to PowerPoint for board meetings, and embed the live version in SharePoint and Teams so everyone works from the same current numbers.

Do you offer Power BI consultancy in London and across the UK?

Yes. Intouch Tech is a UK Power BI consultancy and Microsoft Solutions Partner. We support organisations in London, Fleet and across the UK with consultancy, implementation and managed Power BI services.

Can Power BI replace Excel for reporting?

Yes. Power BI swaps manual Excel reports for live dashboards that update on their own, so everyone reads the same current figures instead of passing conflicting spreadsheets back and forth.
