Why teams replace BI tools

Stop Renting Your Reporting Layer

Most organizations use a fraction of their BI platform, yet pay for every seat, every renewal, and every workaround.

We start by inventorying the dashboards and reports people actually open, the questions they answer, and the data behind them. Then we rebuild that working set as a purpose-built application: the same numbers, a faster interface, access rules that match your org, and none of the licensing overhead. Workflows that never fit inside a dashboard, like approvals, write-back, and alerts, become part of the app instead of a side spreadsheet.

BI replacement services

From Licensed Dashboards to In-House Analytics

Engagements range from replacing a single high-cost workspace to retiring a BI platform across the company.

01

Assessment & Roadmap

Catalog every workbook, report, and data source, measure real usage, and get a prioritized migration plan with a clear scope and budget.

02

Data Modeling

Define trusted metrics once in your warehouse or a semantic layer so every screen, export, and API returns the same answer.

03

Application Build

Rebuild priority dashboards as a fast web application with the filters, drill-downs, and workflows your teams depend on.

04

Cutover & Enablement

Run old and new side by side, reconcile the numbers, train users, and hand your team the code, docs, and runbooks.

Analytics you control

Your Data, Your Interface, Your Roadmap

An in-house analytics app lives in your cloud, connects directly to your warehouse, and uses the same login as the rest of your tools. Adding a user costs nothing, and adding a feature is a pull request instead of a vendor ticket.

We build with mainstream, well-supported technology so your engineers can maintain and extend the application long after the engagement ends.

Common questions

BI Replacement FAQs

Have a question about your situation? Email Info@SolidElectricalSD.com.

Which BI platforms can you replace?

We regularly work with Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Qlik, MicroStrategy, Domo, and Sisense, as well as SSRS, Crystal Reports, and spreadsheet-based reporting. If your reports read from a database or warehouse, we can rebuild them.

Is building an in-house app really cheaper than a BI license?

It depends on your user count, renewal terms, and how many reports you actually use. The assessment phase compares your current licensing and maintenance costs with the build and hosting cost of a replacement, so you can decide with real numbers.

How do you make sure the numbers match the old reports?

We document each metric’s definition, rebuild it in a shared data layer, and run the old and new reports side by side. Every migrated metric is reconciled before users move over.

Do we have to migrate everything at once?

No. Most clients start with the dashboards that drive the most licenses or the most business value, then retire the legacy tool workspace by workspace.

Who maintains the application after launch?

You do, or we can. Every engagement ends with source code in your repository, documentation, and a handoff to your engineers. Ongoing support and feature development are available if you prefer.

How do we get started?

Submit the form or email us. We’ll schedule a discovery call to learn about your platform, data, and goals, then recommend whether an assessment or a focused pilot makes sense.
