Why Hopton
We define success in business terms before writing a single line of DAX or SQL. Every metric traces back to a decision that matters.
Certified datasets, defined metrics, and role-based access baked into the architecture - not bolted on at the end.
No timesheets, no scope creep. You know exactly what you're getting, when you're getting it, and what it will cost.
Every consultant works exclusively in data and analytics. Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Azure. One stack. Deep expertise.
Services
Four areas where we consistently deliver measurable outcomes for UK organisations.

Structured delivery
A programme-based approach to building and maintaining analytics that organisations can rely on over time. Three stages, clear governance, predictable progress.
Bringing analytics into a healthy, trusted state
Agree metrics and definitions. Improve reliability and trust in reporting. Reduce manual workarounds and spreadsheets. Establish clarity on priorities and ownership.
Moving analytics forward deliberately
Expand reporting into new areas. Improve models, data structures or platforms. Deliver step-change capability aligned to business priorities. Planned, time-bound and governed.
Keeping analytics aligned as the business changes
Refine metrics as the business evolves. Maintain data quality and usability. Respond to change without repeated restarts. Protect confidence and prevent gradual decay.
What clients say
“Hopton Analytics are a fantastic partner for us. Our problem was extracting data in Power BI from NetSuite, and on our very first call, they'd achieved just this! From then on, they showed us that they could understand not only technical problems, but business and finance problems too. We continue to recommend Hopton Analytics to anyone looking to elevate their analytics.”
Adrian Goodman
Founder and Director, PPX Consulting
“Hopton Analytics did a fantastic job with our Power BI reporting pack. For us, it's about having sight of the data to help us make key business decisions and allow the consultants to take ownership of their own metrics. Would we recommend Hopton? Absolutely, yes!”

Insights
Practical perspectives on data governance, Microsoft Fabric, and analytics strategy for UK organisations.
Direct Lake is sold as import-speed performance with no import refresh. That is mostly true, and the exception matters. Here is why the first query of the morning can still crawl, and what in your ETL quietly makes it worse.
The Power BI October 2026 update brings eight changes and one that touches your Fabric bill. Here is what to adopt now, what to watch, and what to leave alone.
Capacity billing is where most Fabric customers first meet an unexpected cost. Smoothing, throttling, the 3x overage meter and the new zero-provisioned SKU, explained in plain English with the rules we apply across client estates.
Practical guides, templates and checklists from the Hopton team. No fluff - just the frameworks we use with clients.
