# From Noise to Clarity: Why We Need Visual Standards — An Introduction to IBCS

Session:
Modern organizations are flooded with dashboards, KPIs, and visual reports — yet most of them fail to communicate clearly. Without consistent visual standards, business users face constant confusion: colors mean different things, chart types vary wildly, and information becomes difficult to compare across teams or time periods.

This presentation introduces IBCS, the International Business Communication Standards, a practical framework designed to bring structure, consistency, and clarity to business reporting. Through the SUCCESS model, IBCS defines a visual language that helps organizations reduce cognitive load, improve decision-making, and build scalable reporting practices.

Participants will see real “before and after” examples demonstrating how standardized visuals transform communication.

This session is a clear, practical introduction to why visual standards matter — and how IBCS can change the way we tell stories with data.

### RLS Without Compromise: Secure Detail, Company-Wide Insight

Speaker: Anke Paelman

Row-Level Security is often implemented to restrict users to data from their own department or business unit. But what if they also need to benchmark their performance against the wider organization?

In this session, we’ll demonstrate a real-world Power BI implementation at SBB that combines strict data security with meaningful company-wide insights. Users can access detailed information for their own department while comparing key metrics against organizational averages and benchmarks.
We’ll share the modelling approach, DAX patterns, and lessons learned, giving attendees a practical framework for solving one of the most common challenges in enterprise Power BI deployments.

### One Date Table Isn’t Enough: Advanced Time Intelligence in Power BI

Speaker: Evert Augustyns

Time-based analysis is at the heart of almost every Power BI solution. Yet many reporting requirements quickly outgrow the capabilities of a single date table and standard slicers.

How do you allow users to compare custom periods? Build flexible benchmarking scenarios? Filter one visual differently from another? Or create advanced trend analyses without introducing unnecessary complexity?

In this session, we’ll demonstrate a modelling pattern that combines a traditional connected date table with a disconnected date table to enable highly dynamic filtering behaviour. Using practical examples from customer projects, we’ll show how this approach creates a more flexible reporting experience while keeping the semantic model maintainable and performant.

Whether you’re building executive dashboards, financial reports, or operational analytics, you’ll learn a powerful technique that can immediately enhance your Power BI models.

Agentic Coding in a Real-Life Data Platform Migration - dataMinds

# Agentic Coding in a Real-Life Data Platform Migration

Session:
Migrating from an on-premises data platform to a modern cloud architecture can quickly become overwhelming. Legacy SQL logic, inconsistent naming, undocumented transformations, and multiple stakeholders make migrations complex and time-consuming.

In this session, we’ll share how we used coding agents to accelerate and structure a full migration from on-prem SQL Server to a cloud-based Fabric platform. By combining structured markdown context files with AI agents, we documented legacy logic, compared old and new SQL transformations, generated dbt tests, and enforced naming and modelling standards across the team.

What began as a lightweight experiment became a practical collaboration layer in the migration — helping us align on logic faster, reduce manual review work, and work in parallel without losing consistency.
