What are data visualisation services?
Data visualisation services turn complex data into clear, actionable views — dashboards, reports, and interactive analytics that decision-makers actually use. Decision Foundry's practice spans Tableau, Power BI, MCI dashboards, embedded analytics inside Salesforce, and custom-built data experiences. The goal isn't pretty charts — it's making the decision visible in seconds.
What's included in Decision Foundry's data visualisation services?
Discovery and metric definition (which decisions does the dashboard need to inform?); information design (layout, hierarchy, audience-specific views); platform implementation in Tableau, Power BI, Salesforce CRM Analytics, or MCI; performance engineering (so dashboards load fast at scale); governance and stewardship (so dashboards stay accurate over time); and adoption — training the people who'll use them daily.
How is data visualisation different from BI or analytics?
BI (business intelligence) is the broader category — reports, dashboards, ad-hoc analysis, data warehousing, and the platforms that power them. Data visualisation is the design discipline within BI focused on the visual + UX layer. Analytics goes deeper still, into statistical modelling, forecasting, and predictive insight. We do all three together: BI + analytics for the substance, data visualisation for how it lands with users.
How long does a data visualisation engagement take?
A focused dashboard rebuild (1–2 critical dashboards, single tool) runs 4–8 weeks. A larger program (10–20 dashboards, multi-platform, governance retrofit) runs 3–5 months. Embedded analytics inside a Salesforce or custom application takes 8–16 weeks depending on integration depth. Most engagements start with a 2-week diagnostic where we audit your existing dashboards and rank them by ROI.
We already have dashboards but no one uses them — can you fix that?
This is the #1 reason organisations come to us. Low adoption is almost never a "users need more training" problem — it's a design problem. Dashboards were built around what was easy to query, not what users need to decide. Our visualisation specialists rebuild from the decision backwards: who acts on this, what choice do they have to make, what data answers it. Adoption typically jumps 50%+ within 60 days of a redesign.
