Vs. full-time hire cost
Three reporting problems Dallas teams run into — and what they actually cost
Understanding the root cause is half the fix.
The problem
Using the wrong tool for the job
Teams spend months in Excel or Tableau when Power BI — already licensed in Microsoft 365 — would do the same work faster and cheaper.
Many DFW companies pay for Power BI Premium through their M365 E3/E5 subscription without realizing it. The license is there; the expertise to use it isn't.
The problem
No dedicated BI analyst on the team
A finance or ops manager spends 8–12 hours a week maintaining spreadsheets, building ad-hoc reports, and reconciling numbers that should reconcile automatically.
At a $120K all-in salary, that's $46–70K/year in analyst time spent on work a properly built Power BI model would eliminate entirely.
The problem
Offshore builds that don't stick
A cheaper offshore team delivers a dashboard. Six months later it breaks, nobody knows why, and you're starting over — except now you've lost 6 months and the original budget.
The issue isn't cost per hour. It's timezone lag, communication overhead, and no one accountable when the Salesforce refresh stops working at 6am on a Monday.
Not just dashboards — a working analytics layer your team trusts
We connect and model your data sources — Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Dynamics, or whatever your stack runs — and build the semantic model first, so reports answer real questions instead of just displaying numbers.
DAX measures are written to be maintainable, not clever. We document every measure and run a QA pass so the numbers reconcile before you see them.
Your dashboards are built for the people who read them — the CFO sees board-ready KPI cards, the ops lead sees drill-through detail, the field team sees their numbers. One model, multiple views.
Pipelines stay green. Scheduled refreshes are monitored; if a source connection breaks, we fix it before your team opens the report to a blank screen.
When we hand off, you own everything — .pbix files, documented model, a training session. No lock-in. If you ever leave, nothing disappears.
Power BI for Dallas industries — not a generic playbook
We've built in each of these verticals. That means fewer discovery questions and faster first dashboards.
Do you have Power BI experience with energy companies in Dallas?
Yes. Dallas is one of the top three energy employment hubs in the US, with a dense corridor of upstream, midstream, and industrial companies across the Permian Basin and beyond. We build production KPI dashboards, field-operations reporting, and finance consolidation views for energy teams — with deep familiarity with the data sources these companies run: OSIsoft PI, SCADA historians, and SAP or Dynamics for the financial layer.
Can you build HIPAA-compliant Power BI dashboards for DFW health systems?
Yes. DFW's health ecosystem — anchored by major systems like Baylor Scott & White, UT Southwestern, and Medical City, plus a large downstream of physician groups, DSOs, and healthcare services companies — requires analytics built with compliance in mind. That means row-level security so clinicians only see their patient panels, on-prem gateways where data can't leave the network, and audit trails for PHI access. We build these configurations as standard, not as an add-on.
We're a SaaS company in Plano / Frisco — is this right for us?
Exactly right. The Legacy/Frisco/Plano corridor has become a genuine SaaS cluster — post-Series A companies with RevOps and finance teams that have outgrown HubSpot's native reports but aren't big enough to justify a full in-house BI team. This is our sweet spot: ARR cohorts, NRR, CAC payback, and pipeline coverage in one model, joined across Salesforce, Stripe, and NetSuite. We've built this combination 12+ times.
What Dallas clients get on a Lets Viz engagement
Our Offerings
Data modeling & semantic layer
Star-schema models built in Power BI Desktop or Fabric, with documented relationships, calculated tables, and row-level security. Clean foundation so every report is consistent.
How a DFW mid-market company cut reporting time from 3 days to 4 hours
An anonymised example from a recent engagement — same problem profile as many Dallas energy and industrials teams.
The challenge
A 180-person energy services company in the DFW Metroplex was running month-end reporting across 14 Excel files, pulling from three different ERP systems. Reconciliation took the finance team 3 full business days every close cycle, and numbers still didn't always agree.
What we built
We built a unified Power BI semantic model connecting their SAP ERP, a legacy SQL database, and a Dynamics 365 instance. Single source of truth for P&L, headcount, and operational KPIs — automated refresh, row-level security for regional managers, and a board-ready executive view that published itself every Monday morning.
Outcomes
Built for the DFW market
Energy, telecom & industrials
Dallas is the third-largest energy employment hub in the US and home to AT&T, Kimberly-Clark, and a dense corridor of mid-market industrials. We've built Power BI stacks for field-operations reporting, production KPI dashboards, and finance consolidation in exactly these verticals — so you're not explaining your business to us from scratch.
Healthcare & physician groups
DFW's health systems (Baylor Scott & White, UT Southwestern, Medical City) have created a large downstream of physician groups, DSOs, and healthcare services companies that need clinical and revenue-cycle analytics. We build HIPAA-aware Power BI pipelines — Athena, Epic, Greenway — with the RLS and audit trails compliance requires.
North Texas tech & SaaS
The Legacy/Frisco/Plano tech corridor has become a genuine SaaS cluster. If you're 50-200 people, post-Series A, and your RevOps team is outgrowing HubSpot's native reports, this is our exact sweet spot — ARR cohorts, NRR, CAC payback, and pipeline coverage, all in one model.

Four reasons DFW companies work with us instead of a local boutique
Most Power BI consulting in Dallas is delivered remotely anyway. The real differentiator isn't a local office — it's expertise, timezone coverage, and pricing clarity.
US Central Time coverage
We work Dallas business hours. Same-day responses, live screen-share sessions, no overnight handoff lag. Your named analyst is on when you are.
Published, predictable pricing
Dallas-market Power BI consultants charge $150–$300/hr. We publish our rates: first builds from $8K, retainers from $5K/month — lower than US boutiques, with a named analyst included and no billing-hour surprise at month end.
DFW industry context
Energy, telecom, healthcare, and North Texas SaaS — these aren't abstract sectors for us. We've built models in each and know what the CFO and board actually need to see.
You own everything
Documented semantic model, .pbix files, a training session for your analysts, and a 30-day support window post-handoff. The model is yours — no lock-in, no dependency on us to stay current.
Are you looking for a consulting partner or a staffing agency?
Many Dallas buyers search for 'Power BI consultant' but mean different things. Here's the distinction.
Consulting partner (Lets Viz)
- We own the outcome — model, pipeline, reports, governance
- One named senior analyst accountable from kickoff to hand-off
- We define the approach, not just execute instructions
- Deliverables include documentation and training so you're not dependent on us
- 2-business-day SLA on managed retainers — we monitor your pipelines proactively
- Strategic advisory: we tell you when Power BI isn't the right tool
Staffing agency / body shop
- Places a contractor at your direction — you manage the work
- Rotates staff; you often get a different person each engagement
- Executes what you specify — domain expertise not guaranteed
- You own all project management and quality control
- Typically hourly billing with no outcome accountability
- No monitoring, no SLA — breaks get flagged by your team, not theirs
