Business Intelligence Development
We develop business intelligence solutions that transform company data into clear insights - scalable, sustainable and closely interlinked with your business processes.
Business intelligence development: data that finally speaks for itself
The desire is the same in most companies: decisions should be made faster, more informed and based on a common database. The reality is often different. Data is scattered across SAP, CRM, ERP and Excel. Departments calculate with different figures. Reports are created with days of delay and manual rework. And when a dashboard is finally ready, nobody trusts it because it is unclear where the figures come from.
Professional business intelligence development solves precisely this problem. It creates a central, consistent database, builds semantic models with uniformly defined key figures and provides departments and managers with the information they need for their daily work - up-to-date, reliable and in an interface that they actually use.
At prodot, we have been developing business intelligence solutions for SMEs and corporations for over 25 years. We know from experience where BI projects fail: due to an unclear database, a lack of governance, technically perfect dashboards that fail to meet users' information needs. We make sure that this does not happen.
prodot - Your partner for business intelligence development
From the data model to the finished dashboard
We develop end-to-end business intelligence solutions: from data integration and semantic modeling to dashboard design, rollout and ongoing support. No subcontractors, no handovers, clear responsibilities.
User-centered development
Technically perfect reports that nobody opens on a day-to-day basis are not a success. We develop BI solutions together with users - tailored to their actual information requirements and with self-service functions that make specialist departments independent.
ISO-certified & GDPR-compliant
ISO-certified development processes and data protection-compliant architectures - also for regulated industries and companies with high requirements for the protection of sensitive company data.
Scope of our Business Intelligence development services
Data architecture & data warehouse development
Building a central, consistent database as the foundation of any BI solution: data warehouse, data lakehouse or hybrid architectures based on Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics or SQL Server - tailored to your data volumes, source systems and analysis requirements. We design architectures that work today and scale tomorrow.Data integration & ETL development
Building robust, documented data pipelines to connect your source systems: SAP, Dynamics 365, CRM, ERP, REST APIs, on-premises databases and cloud services are normalized, cleansed and merged into a central database. We use Power Query, Dataflows Gen2, Azure Data Factory and Microsoft Fabric Pipelines - depending on what best suits your requirements.
Semantic modeling & DAX development
Development of robust, high-performance semantic data models with uniformly defined key figures that are consistent across departments. Clean DAX measures, calculated columns and a star schema design ensure that analyses remain reliable and fast even with growing data volumes.
Dashboard & report development
Development of user-friendly, visually convincing dashboards and reports based on Power BI - tailored to the information needs of the respective target group: management level, controlling, sales, production or HR. Drill-through, drill-down and contextual filters enable in-depth analysis without programming knowledge.
Self-service BI & departmental empowerment
Development of certified data sets and self-service structures that enable departments to create their own reports - without an IT ticket for each new request. Clear separation of roles between report creators, data owners and readers protects data quality and data protection.
BI governance & operation
Setting up the Power BI service with workspaces, certification workflows, row level security, license management and usage monitoring. We ensure that your BI ecosystem remains secure, compliant and scalable - even as it grows and new requirements arise.
Technologies in business intelligence development
Modern business intelligence development stands and falls with the choice of the right technologies. We rely on proven, future-proof platforms from the Microsoft ecosystem - and choose the right combination depending on your requirements.
Microsoft Power BI is our preferred visualization platform: powerful, deeply integrated into Microsoft 365 and with a broad user base in companies of all sizes. Microsoft Fabric combines data engineering, data warehousing, real-time analytics and Power BI in a single, uniformly managed environment - ideal for companies that want to build a modern, scalable data platform. Azure Synapse Analytics is suitable for particularly large data volumes and complex analysis requirements that demand a powerful cloud infrastructure. And Azure Data Factory reliably orchestrates data pipelines from heterogeneous source systems.
We always recommend the technology that suits your requirements, your budget and your existing system landscape - not the one that is the most technically complex.
The concrete benefits of professional business intelligence development
Well-developed business intelligence changes the way a company makes decisions. Instead of waiting for outdated Excel evaluations, up-to-date, reliable figures are available at all times. In concrete terms, this means for your company:
- All departments work with the same defined key figures - no more contradictory figures in meetings
- Decision-makers receive relevant KPIs in real time, without having to wait for IT or manual evaluations
- Departments create their own evaluations based on certified data sets, without an IT ticket for every new request
- A clean data architecture creates the basis for advanced analytics and AI based on a reliable database
- Clear governance structures ensure that BI solutions remain secure, compliant and maintainable in the long term

Questions & Answers
-
What is business intelligence development?
Business intelligence development refers to the technical implementation of BI solutions: the structure of the data architecture, the development of data pipelines, semantic modeling and the creation of dashboards and reports. In contrast to pure BI consulting, which concentrates on strategy and conception, BI development focuses on concrete technical implementation.
-
Which technologies does prodot use for Business Intelligence development?
We primarily rely on Microsoft technologies: Power BI for visualization and reporting, Microsoft Fabric for modern, scalable data platforms, Azure Synapse Analytics for large data volumes and Azure Data Factory for the orchestration of data pipelines. We always choose the technology based on your specific requirements and existing system landscape.
-
How long does it take to develop a business intelligence solution?
The first productive dashboards can be implemented for clearly defined use cases in two to four weeks. The total effort required depends on the complexity of the data sources, the scope of the data modeling and the desired level of governance maturity. Our modular approach ensures that a usable status is created early on, which can then be built upon step by step.
-
What is the difference between business intelligence development and business intelligence consulting?
BI consulting focuses on strategy, technology selection, use case prioritization and the development of a BI roadmap. BI development implements these concepts technically: Data pipelines, data models, dashboards and governance structures are created as productive solutions. At prodot, consulting and development go hand in hand - the same team that advises, develops and operates.
-
Can prodot optimize or expand an existing BI solution?
Yes, we take over existing BI solutions, analyze weak points in the data model, performance or governance and develop them further in a targeted manner. Whether migrating to Microsoft Fabric, optimizing the performance of existing Power BI models or adding new data sources and use cases - we get involved where it makes sense.
