Board & leadershipManagersFront lineAuditors & regulatorsData Semantics delivers business intelligence on Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, and as embedded or HTML reporting inside your own portals and apps, across SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, core banking and industry systems. Finance measures are reconciled to authoritative financial sources, and the same numbers feed dashboards, chat with data, alerts, Copilot and AI agents. We also rationalize and speed up existing BI estates, migrate from Tableau, Cognos and Business Objects, and run BI as a managed service.
AI has made building a report easy. It has not made the numbers right. When Copilot gives a different revenue figure from finance, or an agent acts on a measure nobody agreed, that is a BI problem. CFOs don’t need forty more dashboards; they need revenue, margin, working capital and profitability they can trust across every entity, for every audience.
Not more reports. Numbers leaders rely on, analytics shaped around how the business works, and an estate that stays fast, lean and current.
KPIs defined, validated and standardized across entities, functions and systems, so leaders and teams work from the same numbers.
Reusable models and reports for each function and industry, with governed self-service so teams answer their own questions.
Existing estates made smaller, faster and cheaper to run, then kept that way.
Usage analysis showed which reports were used, duplicated or conflicting. What mattered was rebuilt on shared models; the rest was retired, cutting maintenance and confusion.
Data from more than 18 source systems brought onto one governed platform, with reporting rebuilt on shared models and system performance improved by more than half.
Occupancy, renewals, tenant sales and rent roll in one trusted model for leasing, finance and leadership teams.
Reporting modernized through a structured Power BI migration, with governed models replacing the legacy BI estate.
Our reporting UI and UX practice designs each view for the decision it supports, not one dashboard for everyone.
A few KPIs, trends against plan and a clear narrative of what changed.
Variance to target, drill-down by entity, product or region, and the drivers behind each move.
Live queues, exceptions and today’s priorities, on mobile where the work happens.
Governed, paginated reports with definitions, lineage and evidence behind every figure.
Self-service only works when everyone draws on the same governed numbers.
Ask in plain language, in Power BI with Copilot, Fabric data agents or Teams, and get answers from the same governed models as the board pack, with the definition behind each number.
When a KPI moves outside its range, the owner gets an alert in Teams or email that says what changed, why, and what to look at next.
AI takes on the repetitive work of BI delivery, so our consultants spend their time on business logic, design and the checks that make numbers trustworthy.
AI turns stakeholder conversations and old report packs into KPI lists, report specs and acceptance criteria.

Tell us which numbers people argue about. We’ll show you how we would reconcile them and make them ready for Copilot.
Every engagement starts from our KPI library: definitions, calculation logic and field-level mappings to SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Yardi and more, consolidated from client work across industries and functions. Your first release arrives faster and measures your business the way your industry does.
Real estate, consumer goods, retail and distribution, hospitality, banking and finance, each with the measures leaders in that industry actually use.
Finance, sales, procurement, inventory, service and people, defined once with clear owners, formulas and thresholds.
Where each KPI lives in SAP, Oracle EBS and Fusion, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Yardi and other systems, field by field.
Start with a fixed-price health check. Build as a fixed-price project or on time and materials, then run it as a managed service.
We analyze your reporting estate for business value as well as technical health, so you know what to keep, fix, merge or retire.
We build the models and reports domain by domain, then run, support and enhance them under agreed service levels.
BI in the AI era
AI is making reports faster to build, but it does not make the numbers right. Copilot answers from whatever models and definitions it is given, so governed KPIs, reconciled finance measures and well-described semantic models matter more, not less. Data Semantics uses AI to build faster and spends expert time on the definitions and checks that make answers trustworthy.
Usually not yet. Copilot needs clean semantic models with clear names, descriptions, synonyms and one agreed definition per measure. The Data Semantics BI Health Check tests Copilot readiness and lists the fixes, and our teams add the descriptions and business terms so plain-language questions return the right answer.
Because it is reading a different model or definition from the one finance uses, such as revenue before returns, or a report with its own formula. Data Semantics fixes this by agreeing one governed definition per KPI, reconciling finance measures to authoritative financial sources and pointing Copilot at the same models as the board pack.
Trusted performance
Finance measures are reconciled to authoritative financial sources, such as the general ledger or consolidation system, before a report goes live and on every refresh. Operational metrics are validated against their own source systems. Data Semantics documents each definition so finance can see exactly how every figure is calculated.
Yes. Data Semantics builds group reporting across legal entities, currencies and ERPs, with intercompany eliminations, currency translation and consistent charts of accounts, so leadership sees one consolidated view that ties back to each entity.
Yes. Data Semantics starts from its KPI library, consolidated from fourteen years of client work: KPI definitions, calculation logic and source mappings for real estate, retail, FMCG, hospitality, banking and finance, and for systems such as SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce and Yardi. Each one is then adapted to your business.
Reports for every audience
Yes. Data Semantics embeds reporting inside customer portals, partner apps and internal systems using Power BI Embedded, or builds custom HTML reporting where full design control is needed, with row-level security per customer and the same governed KPIs as internal reporting.
Power BI and your BI estate
Data Semantics analyzes usage, duplication and conflicting definitions across the whole estate, agrees with report owners what to keep, merge or retire, and rebuilds what matters on shared models. At a bank this took the estate from 10,000 reports to 2,300, and at another enterprise from 3,000 to 800.
Yes. Data Semantics analyze usage first so only reports people actually use are rebuilt, move them onto governed Power BI semantic models and compare old and new outputs before users switch over.
Working with us
It starts with the fixed-price BI Health Check, a review of your reporting estate for business value and technical health: report usage and duplication, conflicting KPI definitions, model quality, performance and capacity cost, and Copilot readiness, ending in a prioritized plan of what to keep, fix, merge or retire. Build work is delivered as a fixed-price project or on time and materials, depending on how defined the scope is, and ongoing BI runs as a monthly managed service.
Our BI Health Check shows which reports are used, which numbers conflict and what to fix first. Then we build what's missing, fast.
