THE PERSONNEL
If you have decided to do the interactive reporting on your own, you will begin with personnel selection.
There’s a limited pool of specialists. It might take 2-3 months to find the right person.Ā
Quite often, you will also have to teach them to understand the business processes and the financial specifics. Thatās another task you will face. And also, your personnel may quit their jobs, so sometimes you have to look for new candidates.
If you outsource the implementation of Power BI, all you have to do is choose the right contractor and control the result.
You can remove the following from your list of tasks without hesitation: search for specialists, training the team, its retention, motivation and control.

THE TIME FRAME
A project that begins with personnel selection and training turns into a process without time limitations. But it remains your task anyway.
When the team involvement is outsourced, the BI system implementation process has already been well-tried and planned. You pay for the end result.
THE EXPERIENCE
Most probably, your in-house specialists will have the experience of Power BI implementation in 1-2 business areas. Your tasks will be new for them. And this means that the mistakes and time delays will be paid for by you and your company, because you must pay salaries to your regular staff anyway despite the delays in the implementation.
With analytics outsourcing, itās different. For example, we at Cobit Solutions already have work experience in 19 business industries. And this means we have already gained the experience of trial and error.
