From the Operations Floor to the Dashboard

BI Dashboards was founded on a simple belief: the best reports are built by people who have had to answer to them.

The Story

Meet Rakesh Sookay

Rakesh brings 25 years of business operations and analytics experience, much of it managing contact centre operations, an environment where every decision is measured, every target is visible, and bad reporting costs real money. He didn't come to business intelligence through IT; he came to it because he needed answers his reports weren't giving him.

That frustration became a craft. Today, as founder of BI Dashboards, Rakesh designs Power BI and Microsoft Fabric solutions for organisations across telecommunications, healthcare, financial services, insurance, and the non-profit sector, with clients in the USA, Canada, Guatemala, Switzerland, Germany, Mauritius, New Zealand, and South Africa.

BI Dashboards (Pty) Ltd is a B-BBEE accredited South African company; the certificate is available on request.

The operator's mindset never left. Every dashboard is built around one question: what decision does this help someone make?
