Power BI & Microsoft Fabric Consulting and Training | 2025 Review

As the final working day of 2025 draws to a close here at GRE Towers, it feels like the right time to reflect on what has been another highly successful year for data consulting, Power BI delivery, Microsoft Fabric projects, and technical training.

Throughout 2025, we’ve worked with organisations across the public sector, private sector, fintech, insurance, retail, and not-for-profit space, helping them make better decisions using data.

Data consulting highlights from 2025

Over the past year, our data consulting and advisory services have included:

• Embedding Power BI dashboards directly into a fuel delivery company’s application
• Providing a Virtual DBA service to a large software licensing company, managing and optimising their SQL Server estate
• Delivering ongoing Virtual DBA services for a fast-moving retail organisation
• Designing and architecting a Microsoft Fabric deployment for a local authority
• Providing fractional CEO and CTO services to a healthcare startup (more on this in 2026)

These projects reflect a growing demand for modern analytics platforms, cost-effective Fabric capacity planning, and strategic data leadership.
