Power BI Assessment Services

The agency is seeking professional services to conduct a Power BI assessment using its existing Microsoft 365 G5 platform and to develop a future roadmap for establishing Power BI as a foundational reporting solution for citywide agencies. The work is focused on evaluating the current reporting environment and identifying a practical path for broader Power BI adoption across the organization.

The selected vendor will be expected to lead a project kickoff with the agency’s designated point of contact and key stakeholders, develop and maintain a project schedule, and assess Power BI licensing, associated costs, architecture, and deployment options. The scope also includes creating a report migration strategy by evaluating the strengths, limitations, and readiness of replacing or supplementing current business intelligence tools, along with recommendations for support and training.

As part of the engagement, the vendor will conduct discovery sessions covering the current state of reporting tool management and agency responsibilities, as well as Power BI governance and operating model considerations. These sessions will address workspace and content governance, security and guidance, ownership and lifecycle management, environment administration, audit, compliance, support considerations, and centralized versus decentralized governance models.

The engagement will conclude with a Power BI governance and roadmap strategy document incorporating findings and recommendations from the discovery process, followed by a formal review and presentation of the assessment results and roadmap recommendations.
