About us
Welcome to the Karoo Data Platform User Group! Our aim is to meet monthly, virtually via a Remote Session, and in-person where possible. Our community meetup is open to everyone — developers, professionals, students, and enthusiasts alike — who share a passion for Enterprise Data technologies and related solutions. We believe in the power of diversity and inclusion, and we strive to create a supportive environment where everyone can network, learn new skills, collaborate on projects, and share their expertise.
Join us on a random Thursday evening (after work for us ;) ~5pm CAT-time zone/ SAST) every month, to learn, share experiences, and network with others in the industry as part of the broader Azure Data technical community. Come grab a drink and a snack, and together, we can celebrate human connection, continuous learning, and innovation in the world of data.

Do you want to enhance the performance of your dashboard? Experience shows that most performance issues in Power BI can be addressed with a few simple adjustments to the data model.
Therefore, this session will address the following questions:- What constitutes a strong foundation for a data model?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of different data models?
- How can you manipulate data to generate the right insights?
A robust data model can resolve many issues effortlessly, including:
- Even with limited expertise, you can boost performance with a few tips, resulting in faster loading times for your reports.
