At a high level, the resource will design and develop visualizations, dashboards, and reports using PowerBI and other Microsoft suite tools (e.g. Power Platform) to provide data insights in a more useful and organized way based on role / need for information.
The procurement division of the Department of IT Services (MNIT) is seeking a resource to design and develop visualizations, dashboards, and reports using PowerBI and other Microsoft suite tools (e.g. Power Platform) to provide data insights for use by procurement staff, procurement leadership, and other State employees in a more useful and organized way based on role / need for information.

The procurement team built some initial proof of concepts for two reports but lacks Power BI experience to get the full functionality desired from the reports. Those reports are :
CPRS Status Report – allows State employees to check status of CPRS requests
Software Renewals Report – allows end users to see when annual software licenses renew
The resource will be expected to work from these initial reports and improve the functionality (may require recreation of the report from scratch) based both on requests from the State but also functionality the resource believes may be useful based on their experience building similar reports.
The resource will be expected to construct new CPRS Status Report and Software Renewals Reports improving upon the general functionality of procurement's proof of concept reports.
The resource will be expected to work with procurement and other selected stakeholders to create and refine basic user stories.
The resource will also be expected to suggest other improvements or user stories for the reports based on their knowledge and expertise.
