From data requests to self-service insights

Imagine a sales manager who wants to know which regions are underperforming.

In a traditional BI setup, they’d send a request to the data team and wait days for a custom report.

With self-service BI, they can open a Power BI dashboard, filter by region, and instantly see trends, variances, and potential causes. All without writing a single line of code. And most importantly, the data remains secure, governed, and accurate.

When done right, everyone wins with self-service BI: business users get the right insights at the right time, and BI teams can focus on governance and optimization instead of ad-hoc requests.

And Zebra BI makes it seamless to create exploratory, interactive dashboards that deliver exactly what users need: immediate, trusted insights that drive better decisions.

Empower users. Protect data. Scale insights.

That’s self-service BI done right.

Who Should Attend

  • BI & Data Leaders looking to scale reporting across teams
  • Power BI Admins and Architects managing governance and structure
  • BI Consultants and Report Builders supporting business users

Our financial landing page at KPN is completely based on the sales dashboard template. We also use a copy of the consolidated financials. The templates of Zebra BI are providing us with a lot of inspiration, and we don't "need to invent the wheel" again 😉

An amazing visual for finance. It has a lot of possibilities such as analytic periods, variances, or custom hierarchies for your income statement. 100% advisable.

I've recently been experimenting with Zebra BI's custom Table visual, which is like the native Power BI matrix on steroids. If your work allows for the use of custom visuals, I think it's definitely worth checking out. Planning on doing a video on it soon...

I had a phone interview for a #PowerBI contract, where the interviewer said of the sample dashboards in my CV: "Great...I see you use @ZebraBI!" How cool is that? And they mentioned my top-secret passphrase on the call: "Actionable Insight". I'm in.

The reusable trick of switch I think is brilliant! And obviously, Zebra BI table replaces any other table now in Power bi. RIP to normal tables!
Manuel Barahona Gandía

This visual from Zebra BI enables you to build stunning P&L, CF, and BS statements with complex structures with ease. Very intuitive for developers and users. In my opinion the best solution for Financial Reporting structures. 11 Stars!

As you say, Andrej Lapajne, we spent A LOT, searching and explaining how to do Comments, with Power Apps, and also with the help of Excel. They were workarounds!!! No doubt...this is awesome and the simple way to go forward.
