Fewer reports. Better numbers.
Bristlecone modernizes analytics on Microsoft. We rationalize report estates, migrate Tableau, Cognos, and SSRS reporting to Power BI, and build the Azure data platform underneath, from Azure Databricks to managed operations.
They have too many reports that disagree with each other, and not enough they trust. We help Microsoft customers fix that, then build the data platform that keeps the numbers right.
Migrating reports is easy. Retiring the ones nobody needs is the win.
Most BI estates carry hundreds of reports that overlap, disagree, or are never opened. Moving all of them to Power BI just moves the problem.
We rationalize first, migrate what matters with automation, then build governed semantic models so the numbers hold. That same semantic layer is what Copilot and conversational analytics need to give trustworthy answers later.
Already running Power BI or Azure? Get more from it
If Power BI and Azure are already in place, the biggest gains usually come from consolidating reports, certifying semantic models, fixing the data underneath, and cutting license and support overhead. We do that work on existing environments every day.

What we do on Microsoft Azure
Assess and rationalize
We assess the BI estate with a report rationalization framework and score migration complexity report by report.
Migrate BI to Power BI
We move Tableau to Power BI with our accelerator, including DAX conversion, migrate Cognos and SSRS reporting, and validate migrated reports before cutover.
Build the Azure data platform
The data layer under the reports: medallion layers in Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, ADLS, Azure SQL, and Azure Functions pipelines, and Power BI semantic models built on Databricks gold tables.
Govern and secure
Certified and endorsed semantic models, row-level security, and access provisioned through Entra ID, so reports and AI agents read from the same governed source.
Run and support
Managed BI and enterprise reporting support, with L1 to L3 platform support built on ITIL processes and SLA baselines, and a staged transition that moves through planning, knowledge transfer, shadowing, and primary support.
Rationalize, migrate, govern
It starts with an inventory of every report, retires what's unused or duplicated, migrates the rest with automation, and ends with governed Power BI semantic models.
Our Tableau-to-Power BI accelerator decodes the source BI estate, identifies duplicate and unused reports, converts Tableau semantic models to Power BI datasets, uses AI to convert Tableau calculations to DAX, and validates migrated reports against the source. It converts Tableau queries to DAX with more than 80% accuracy, cuts migration timelines by more than 40%, and reduces IT infrastructure and maintenance costs by almost 30%.
Accelerators built from delivery
- Tableau-to-Power BI accelerator: automated migration with DAX conversion and validation, running on Azure.
- Report rationalization framework: finds duplicate and unused reports before migration.
- Prebuilt KPI frameworks for spend, inventory, cost to serve, S&OP, warehouse, and logistics.
- Edge Data Readiness Accelerator: metadata-driven ingestion, used to feed Kinaxis from Azure Databricks.
What governed Power BI and Azure data let you do next
- Plan: planning data from Azure Databricks to Kinaxis.
- Source: spend and procurement dashboards.
- Make: OEE dashboards across plant lines.
- Deliver: sales and distribution reporting.
- Finance: financial and sales reporting from SAP BW and SQL Server.
Secure by design. Predictable to run.
We certify and endorse semantic models, apply row-level security, and provision access through Entra ID, so reports and AI agents read from the same governed source.
From governed data to AI
We take customers from governed Power BI to conversational analytics in four steps:
- Ground: data in Azure Databricks or OneLake, organized in medallion layers.
- Govern: certified Power BI semantic models with row-level security.
- Activate: conversational analytics and Copilot on those models, tested against agreed business questions.
- Decide: answers in Power BI, Teams, and Copilot, where people already work.
What leaders ask about Fewer reports. Better numbers.
Practical answers to the questions that often shape the first conversation.
Can you migrate Tableau, Cognos, or SSRS reporting to Power BI?+
Yes. We've migrated all three, and we use an accelerator for Tableau that converts queries to DAX with more than 80% accuracy.
Should we migrate every report to Power BI?+
Usually not. Most estates carry reports that overlap or are never used. We rationalize first, so you only migrate what the business needs.
Do you support Power BI after go-live?+
Yes. We provide managed BI and enterprise reporting support.
Can Power BI work with data in Databricks?+
Yes. We build Power BI semantic models on Databricks gold tables, often in Azure Databricks.
How do we start?+
With an assessment of your BI estate that shows what to retire, migrate, and rebuild.
