Our approach
The data maturity of your organisation is crucial. Managing and harnessing your data is fundamental to making effective business decisions.
We will analyse your starting point, understand your challenges, and transform your data into a custom reporting solution, building data flows, models, and reports based on our insights. After testing, we will deliver the solution and continue to support for continuous improvement.
Our experts unpick your starting point and understand the challenge you‘re organisation is facing. We take time to understand how the data in your organisation is stored and put ourselves in your users’ shoes so we can understand how you will work with the reports, dashboards and insights we create. In this phase we create detailed user stories, analyse data transformations, and consider how the solution will fit within your infrastructure and broader operating model.
We’ve done the research, and now we’re building from it. Leveraging insights from the discovery phase, we ensure we create data flows, models, reports and measures that get to the heart of what you want to achieve.
Following rounds of internal and user testing, the solution is now ready to be delivered! In this phase we deliver outcomes achieved through the application of technology underpinned by robust project management and application lifecycle management.
Our project doesn’t end with delivery. Through ongoing success and metric tracking, we provide ongoing recommendations and hands-on support for continuous improvement and evolution.
Institute of Motor Industries (IMI) Management Accounts

The IMI’s aim was clear, collaborate with a highly consultative IT partner to take the business forward from a financial reporting perspective. Initially chosen for a Sage 200 support role, a later requirement on analytics – specifically the implementation, visualisation, and surfacing of Sage 200 insights through Power BI – led to BCN working on the complex visualisation project of the IMI’s management accounts.
Connecting multiple data sources and transforming the way their performance data is collected, presented, disseminated, and analysed, BCN harnessed Power BI to link the Trust’s data sources and create near real-time data visualisations for 250,000 outpatient appointments.
Alder Hey and Liverpool Heart and Chest NHS Trust needed to roll out Power BI across the joint analytics team. Our solution helped key stakeholders utilise and adopt Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts much more easily and efficiently for their monthly Integrated Performance Reports.

Power BI is Microsoft’s business intelligence platform and data visualisation tool that allows you to connect your data, prepare, model, and visualise it to provide the insights and analysis you need to make better decisions. Power BI connects data from virtually any source, including Microsoft and third-party applications, and presents that data in an intuitive way, giving you the ability to get the insights you need at a glance while also enabling more in-depth analysis.
With the introduction of Microsoft Fabric, how your data is transformed before being visualized in Microsoft Power BI has become much easier. Data project times and costs are being reduced, and our team is excited by the new technology and the agile approach it brings.
Business intelligence allows firms to collect, examine, and turn unstructured data into valuable insights for strategic decision making. Data from diverse sources must be gathered, integrated, and interpreted in order to provide a complete picture of business operations, performance, and trends. Data warehousing, mining, reporting and dashboards are just a few of the tools and methodologies included in business intelligence (BI).
Numerous stakeholders within an organisation can use business intelligence to guide decision-maing and enhance business performance. BI can be used by business analysts; executive and senior management; operations managers, sales and marketing professionals, finance and accounting teams.
