Our team at ESW is here to guide you. We’ll take the mystery out of reports, so you can make decisions with confidence.
Turn Your Data Into Decisions
You don’t have to be a tech genius to use Power BI. We’ll help you create dashboards and reports that actually mean something to your team no jargon or confusing charts. Instead, you’ll get clean visuals that help everyone finally get on the same page, spot patterns, and catch new chances for growth.
Power BI empowers your team to build interactive dashboards and reports with no technical expertise required. The interface is user-friendly, but the results go far beyond basic insights. By automating your data analysis and customizing dashboards, you uncover trends that fuel smarter business decisions.
Whether it’s tracking performance metrics or exploring new business opportunities, Power BI makes sense of complex data. So you stay ahead of the curve and make informed choices.
Meet Your Power BI Team
When you work with ESW, you get real conversation with real experts no cookie-cutter solutions here. We’ll sit down with you and ask the questions that matter:
- What data do you depend on most?
- What do you need your numbers to say?
- Who’s allowed to see what, and when?
- What kind of setup gives you the best bang for your buck?
- How often should your dashboards update?
We’ll clear up any confusion and help you build a plan that fits you, not the other way around.
What Are Microsoft Power BI Consulting Services?
Power BI turns data into visual insights that help you make smarter decisions. As a leading tool in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for 12 consecutive years, Power BI offers advanced visualizations, seamless integration with other Microsoft products such as SharePoint, and the ability to coordinate multiple data sources.
Whether you’re pulling data from warehouses or combining multiple inputs, Power BI can create polished dashboards, reports and decision-making tools that simplify complex data.
Our U.S.-based Power BI consultants unlock the full potential of the software for you. This begins by understanding your unique needs and diving deep into your business intelligence goals.
- What data is most relevant for input?
- How should we display information to tell a clear story?
- What permissions are needed for data access?
- Which licenses best serve your organization?
- When should workflows run to provide timely updates?
Our certified consultants take the guesswork out of Power BI, so you can make more informed, data-driven decisions. Whether you’re new to Power BI or looking to optimize your current setup, we provide you with the right tools and insights to enhance your reporting capabilities.

Over 1500 Happy Clients - SMB to Government & Corporations
EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Hailey Quinn2023-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great class for staff to attend. Each person had various skills associated with excel and we were able to customize the agenda to meet the needs of our agency. I really enjoyed the hands experience by completing exercises during the session. The presenter kept us engaged and had extensive knowledge on Excel. Would highly recommend! James Evans2023-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ESW has been a fantastic resource over the past 2 years to me and my business. I reached out to many companies back in 2020 looking for a software company to help with my very unique set of circumstances and desires. Every one of those other companies were rigid and stubborn. If we weren't going to do it like everyone else - they weren't interested. Then I found ESW and they gave me exactly what I wanted and even though they said they didn't have another client like me - they would make it work. I've worked with Brandon for 2 years and my personal growth and business growth has been unbelievable. When you're looking for a software company to help you build your desired tool to help you do whatever it is you're looking to create - call ESW, you'll be glad you did. During my time, which is still ongoing, I've had the ultimate privilege to work with Brandon and Hannah, but in my interactions with many other members of their team - the culture and service was consistent throughout - incredible. They deserve more than 5 stars. Sarah Getzlaff2023-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend. We had them build a payroll platform in excel from scratch. They built it exactly as we hoped and have been quick to respond to any additional enhancement requests, maintenance or items that need to be fixed. Linda Salgin2023-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Organized a series of trainings for my department and had a wonderful experience with these folks. Stacey and Jennifer were very responsive to my questions and planning the different sessions to meet our departments needs and the trainer Alex was amazing. Everyone really enjoyed the training. Would recommend! susan gorman2022-10-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company to work with. Very responsive to our needs Rachael Wierson2022-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with the ESW team was exceptional from start to finish. From the initial scoping call through completion of the project, communication was clear and delivery was timely. Kayla Donahue2022-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used ESoftware Associates at my workplace and they have been fabulous to work with. We were in need of support rather than a total project rebuild and they have provided great support with extremely quick communication. Sara, our account manager, always follows up to check on the status of our updates/support. Mike, our tech support, provides solutions to issues in a timely manner. We are lucky to have them as an extension of our team!
