Being a Power BI Specialist – A Creative Puzzle with Data at Its Core
April 24th, 2025
Working as a Power BI specialist is like putting together a puzzle, where the pieces are data, customer needs, and technical solutions. It’s not just about designing sleek reports, it’s a mix of analysis, strategy, and creative problem-solving. For Nicklas Norman, a Power BI specialist at NAB, the job is all about digging into complex datasets and building solutions that make clients say, “Wow, this changes everything!”
Nicklas describes his work as the perfect mix of several key elements. His role revolves around data modeling, gathering information from different sources and structuring it in a way that makes it useful. Another major aspect of his job is data visualization, where he creates clear, insightful reports and dashboards that make data both accessible and actionable. He also relies on automation tools like Power Automate to streamline repetitive tasks and save valuable time. System integration is another crucial focus, as he builds interfaces using Power Apps to connect systems and create a smoother user experience.
But perhaps the most important part of his job is problem-solving. “It’s about taking a complex problem, breaking it down, and building a solution that is both simple and powerful,” Nicklas explains.
A typical day starts with a call to a client to understand their needs. After reviewing their existing BI solution, he dives into the data to identify any gaps. Maybe new data needs to be integrated, or an existing report needs adjustments to reflect evolving business requirements. If a challenge is particularly complex, he collaborates with a BC consultant—teamwork is a key part of the job.
For Nicklas, the most rewarding part of his work is solving problems and helping clients. “Taking on a challenge, breaking it down into smaller pieces, and finding a solution is really satisfying. And when clients see the impact—when they realize how much easier their work becomes—that’s when you know you’ve done a great job.”
Being a Power BI specialist means constantly staying up to date. The digital landscape evolves rapidly, and keeping up with the latest advancements is essential to delivering high-quality solutions. Nicklas emphasizes that understanding the technology is only part of the job—understanding the client’s real needs is just as critical.
Of course, every job comes with its challenges. For a Power BI specialist, common obstacles include navigating data access permissions and dealing with long lead times when transferring data from cloud-based storage to on-premises systems to develop BI solutions.
For Nicklas and his colleagues, success isn’t just about building great technical solutions to building relationships. “We’re not just a vendor—we’re a partner, helping our clients navigate the opportunities that come with digitalization,” he says. The strong culture at NAB, with engaged and skilled professionals, enables both the team and their clients to reach new heights.

NAB Solutions Inc. has been active in North America for a few years now. We’ve built strong relationships with our clients and are continuously working to expand our reach, says Johan. Our North American operations will function similarly to our Swedish model, where much of the work is still handled from Sweden. However, with Evan on the ground and more Swedish colleagues on their way, we’re ready to take on new clients and strengthen our position in the market.
We believe in close collaboration with our clients, and our goal is to grow alongside them, Johan continues. When our customers succeed, we want to be there every step of the way—simplifying their processes, enhancing efficiency, and allowing them to focus on what truly matters to their business. Our role is to provide them with a reliable and seamless business solution that makes their day-to-day operations easier.
North America is a vast market, with many companies still relying on outdated systems and business solutions. We see a tremendous opportunity to help these businesses transition to a more streamlined and efficient way of working, says Johan. To reach the right customers, we are sharpening our focus on specific industries and refining our value proposition.
To maximize our impact, we are concentrating on key industries where we see strong potential for growth:
We have already helped many Swedish clients successfully transition to the cloud, and in collaboration with Crayon, we’re bringing that same expertise to North America. In process manufacturing, we are partnering with Yaveon, which recently established a presence in Charlotte, North Carolina. We’re excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring.
Within the rental services sector, we’ve had several successful projects in Sweden and recently secured a new deal that strengthens our experience. The demand for these solutions is growing in North America, and we are ready to meet it.
The print industry has been our gateway into the U.S. market, and we’ve already built a solid reputation. We plan to continue growing our presence and leveraging this foundation to expand further, says Johan.
Our partnership with SignUp also presents an exciting opportunity to streamline invoice management for businesses. Since almost every company needs to handle incoming invoices, we see great potential in implementing a smooth and automated process.
With a clear strategy, strong partnerships, and a client-first approach, we are well-positioned to take our next big step in North America. We look forward to helping more businesses thrive and being part of their journey to success, concludes Johan.

Our colleague Johan is currently in the U.S., more specifically in Charleston, where we have our base for doing business in America, and here are his thoughts on it:
The people here are incredibly friendly and eager to share their stories about why they chose Charleston. One particularly fascinating conversation was with a German father who relocated here in 2009 with his wife. They now have three children, the oldest being ten years old. Initially, they settled on Daniel Island but eventually moved to Mount Pleasant for various reasons.
The climate in Charleston is fantastic! Visiting now, at the end of February, is probably the coolest period, yet the sun still shines almost every day. The city offers numerous beautiful beaches. One interesting caution: watch out for alligators! With numerous waterways and ponds throughout the neighborhoods, sightings are common. In fact, I managed to capture a photo of one in a central park. While extremely dangerous in water, they’re less of a threat on land—just keep your distance and remember they’re surprisingly fast for the first 20 meters. After that, your fitness determines the outcome!
The business environment in the U.S. is undeniably competitive. If you’re not a good fit, businesses will quickly move on. This competitive landscape suits us perfectly, though it will certainly challenge us. We’ve already gained valuable experience and understand that clients expect us to handle everything. Our integrated model—encouraging clients to actively participate and own their solutions—may initially be challenging. However, I’m confident this approach will ultimately drive our success. Empowering our clients to take ownership of their systems means better long-term outcomes and greater scalability for us.
In short, establishing ourselves in Charleston feels absolutely right. If things continue progressing at this pace, exciting opportunities await us here in North America!

Our colleague Johan is currently in the U.S., more specifically in Charleston, where we have our base for doing business in America, and here are his thoughts on it:
It’s clear that European companies serious about growth are highly welcomed here in Charleston. Multiple organizations are actively assisting us with everything—from finding the perfect location to establish NAB Solutions Inc., to practical advice on housing (including tips on neighborhoods to choose or avoid), understanding the school system, and even connecting with local sports activities.
Charleston is truly an up-and-coming city, evident from the increasing number of businesses deciding to set up operations here. The city prioritizes a strong business environment, maintaining reasonable operational costs and competitive tax rates. There’s a noticeable push to position Charleston as a “tech city,” actively encouraging tech companies to establish roots here.

Sales is the lifeblood of any business. It’s the art and science of identifying prospects, building relationships, and closing deals. But today’s sales environment is more complex than ever. Customers expect personalized experiences, fast responses, and seamless interactions across multiple channels. Sales teams, in turn, must manage an overwhelming amount of data, track interactions, and forecast revenue—all while ensuring they focus on the right opportunities at the right time.
Traditional sales processes often fall short. Outdated CRM systems, manual data entry, and disconnected communication tools slow down sales teams, making it harder to meet targets and close deals efficiently. To stay ahead, businesses need intelligent, data-driven solutions that optimize every step of the sales cycle.
Microsoft Dynamics Sales is a powerful, AI-driven platform designed to help businesses maximize revenue, improve efficiency, and strengthen customer relationships. By leveraging cutting-edge automation, predictive insights, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365, it transforms sales from a reactive function into a proactive, data-powered growth engine.
To stay competitive, sales teams must adapt to a new era of intelligent selling. Join our upcoming webinar to see how top-performing organizations are using Microsoft Dynamics Sales to increase efficiency, improve win rates, and drive predictable revenue growth.
