Capstone Analytics is a data consultancy based out of Brisbane. We specialise in enterprise grade Power BI solutions for midsize and large organisations. Enterprises look to Capstone when: • They need to ideate, design, deploy, and monitor enterprise grade Power BI semantic models. • Frustrated that their current semantic models do not contain a single version of truth. • They’ve had it with models which are slow to query due to poorly written DAX and take a long time to refresh as they are not optimised. • Continually embarrassed by Power BI dashboards which lack design expertise and do not provide enough value. • They’re searching for a provider who can train their data professionals in automating the build and deployment of enterprise grade solutions. Capstone provides Power BI model and dashboard design for enterprises, in house training using clients’ own data, and our consultants regularly speak on a variety of topics pertinent to Power BI and DAX. Clients experience tremendous success with Capstone as we are very different from other consultancies: • We are not obsessed with building dashboards. We emphasize on building a data product aka semantic models which contains the single version of truth from which enterprise dashboards can be built. • Having been involved in numerous semantic model builds, we know what NOT to do which is more important that what to do. This way we minimise risk and speed up the design process. • We don’t believe enterprise models can be built by a single person. We work best in a team which has solution architects, data modelers, data engineers, data stewards, business analysts. Collaboration with other data specialists is the key to building stable enterprise solutions. • We have developed a 40+ point checklist for the build of semantic models. If the build fails even one criterion, then it is not enterprise grade. • We have written scripts to automate the build of semantic models. Build in days, not months.
