We are seeing more colleges transitioning from traditional SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to the Microsoft Dataverse and Power BI.

If your college is holding data across a mix of sources, for example your MIS, internally built Power Apps and SharePoint Lists, we can help you bring the data together in a simple solution with a Power BI workbook. This allows you to save time creating reports manually and gives you a clear picture of what your data reports in one view, a set of dashboards or reports.

Replacing legacy on-premises data silos with interactive, mobile-friendly dashboards gives colleges a modern and efficient way to create reports and data visualisations.

Digital transformation does not mean stepping away from the structured, compliance-driven reporting that is required for FE colleges. By pairing Power BI Reports with Dataverse, institutions can bridge the gap between traditional reporting and modern data analytics.

Gain deeper insights with Power BI

Power BI transforms how you can interact with your data, by combining data from different sources you can gain better understanding to inform decision making. Power BI is AI ready with the ability to answer questions and provide automated insights. This lessens the manual workload on staff, speeding up the reporting process and enabling teams.

Paginated Reports

Interactive Power BI dashboards are ideal for gaining new insights however we know FE colleges still require some regulated operational reports. Here you can utilise Power BI Paginated Reports.

Paginated reports are the direct cloud evolution of SSRS, specifically optimised for printing, PDF generation and multi-page layouts. When connected to Dataverse, they allow you to maintain the reports you need without the need to maintain outdated on-premises infrastructure.

Combined with the Dataverse connector, Paginated Reports runs optimised queries against the data stored in the cloud, ensuring that heavy compliance reporting never slows down the performance of your live MIS environment.

By combining the dynamic, analytical abilities of Power BI dashboards with the structured precision of Paginated Reports, colleges can eliminate IT bottlenecks, secure their data in the cloud and make faster, data-driven decisions.
