Cost vs. a full-time Denver hire
The problems Denver teams bring us
The problem
SCADA and ERP data in separate silos
Leadership decisions delayed by days
Operations data, project ROI, and financial reporting live in three different systems. Leadership asks questions your team can't answer until next week.
The problem
Reporting is a full-time manual job
10–40 hrs/week of analyst time wasted
Someone on your team spends 10–40 hours a week pulling, reconciling, and formatting reports that should update themselves. That time belongs on higher-value work.
The problem
Offshore built it, now no one can maintain it
Every change takes 3 weeks
The dashboard works — barely. The consultant who built it is gone, the model is undocumented, and every change request becomes a project of its own.
Not just dashboards — analytics your Denver operations team can act on
We connect and model your data sources — SCADA historians, ERP systems, cloud data warehouses, Salesforce, Stripe, or whatever your stack runs — and build the semantic model first, so every dashboard answers real operational questions.
Energy and aerospace data has unique requirements: large time-series volumes, compliance constraints, and mixed SCADA/ERP sources. We've navigated these many times and won't oversell what Power BI can do versus what needs an upstream warehouse layer.
Your dashboards are built for the people who read them — the VP of Operations sees site-level performance vs. target, the CFO sees cost-per-unit and project ROI, the clinical lead sees patient cohort outcomes. One model, multiple audiences.
Pipelines stay green. Scheduled refreshes are monitored; if an OSIsoft PI connection, a Salesforce OAuth token, or an Azure Synapse pipeline breaks, we fix it before your team opens a blank report.
When we hand off, you own everything — .pbix files, documented model, a training session for your analysts. No lock-in. If you ever leave, nothing disappears.
Built for Denver's dominant sectors
Can Power BI connect to SCADA and historian data?
Yes. Colorado's renewable energy operators run SCADA historians like OSIsoft PI, Ignition, and AVEVA — the same platforms we build Power BI connections on top of. Generation vs. target, grid load, asset maintenance, and sustainability KPIs — live or scheduled refresh.
Can you build compliant dashboards for aerospace data?
Yes. Row-level security, role-based workspace access, and audit logging for regulated environments. Supply chain, program cost, and operations dashboards on SAP and Deltek data.
Can you build HIPAA-compliant clinical dashboards?
Yes. Patient cohort analytics, clinical outcomes, and cost-per-episode reporting with HIPAA-aware row-level security. Built for Denver's fast-growing healthtech sector.
What Denver 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. Handles SCADA time-series, ERP transactions, and cloud warehouse data in a single unified model.
How a Colorado renewable energy company automated 40 hours of weekly reporting
An anonymised example from a recent engagement — same problem profile as many Denver energy and industrial teams.
The challenge
A 120-person Colorado renewable energy developer was tracking generation output, maintenance tickets, and project ROI across 8 wind and solar sites — all in separate Excel files. Weekly board reporting took the ops team 40+ hours and was always 5 days behind real performance.
What we built
We connected live SCADA historian data and their project management system to a unified Power BI semantic model. Automated daily refresh, site-level performance vs. target, maintenance cost tracking per asset, and an executive summary that published itself every Monday at 6 AM.
Outcomes
Built for Denver's dominant sectors
Energy & renewables
Colorado is one of the most active renewable energy markets in the US — wind, solar, storage, and grid integration projects are scaling fast across the Front Range. We build Power BI models on top of SCADA historians and project management systems so operations teams have real-time generation vs. target, maintenance cost per asset, and sustainability reporting without a weekly Excel pull. We've built this stack on OSIsoft PI, Ignition, and AVEVA data — and we'll tell you honestly when your data volume needs an upstream aggregation layer before Power BI can handle it reliably.
Aerospace & defense
Denver's aerospace sector — anchored by Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, and a deep contractor ecosystem — generates complex program, supply chain, and operations data that needs careful data governance. We build secure Power BI architectures with row-level security, role-based access controls, and audit logging suitable for regulated environments. Manufacturing quality metrics, supply chain cost tracking, and mission operations dashboards that consolidate SAP, Deltek, and custom APIs into a single authoritative view.
Healthtech & clinical analytics
Denver's healthtech ecosystem — including well-funded companies like Strive Health, Artera, and Rightway — needs analytics infrastructure that scales from early-stage reporting to enterprise-grade clinical dashboards. We build HIPAA-compliant Power BI models with patient cohort analytics, clinical outcome tracking, cost-per-episode reporting, and payer performance views. Row-level security ensures sensitive patient data only reaches the right stakeholders.

Shravan Siddapurkar
Senior Director, Opsramp
Lets Viz built a unified Power BI model across our three data sources in under two weeks. Our operations team went from waiting 3 days for month-end reports to having live dashboards refresh every morning. Exceptional work.
