PortalXcelerator · Built on Umbraco CMS

Your insights.
Their access.
Instantly.

Transform internal analytics into a secure, branded, self-service data portal. PortalXcelerator is built on Umbraco CMS with our own plugins for Power BI and Databricks, so publishing a Power BI report, a Databricks dashboard or a Genie Agent that answers questions in plain English is as easy as publishing a page.

Who it is for

When your data has an audience outside your team

Emailing exports and sharing Power BI links does not scale, looks unprofessional and is hard to secure. A portal gives every audience its own front door.

Clients

Agencies and service firms giving every client their own branded view of results, campaigns and performance.

Franchises and branches

One network, hundreds of sites, each seeing its own numbers and how it compares, from a single platform.

Partners and departments

Suppliers, members, regulators or internal teams who need governed access without a Power BI licence or Databricks account each.

How it fits together

A CMS in front, your data platform behind

Your editors run the portal like a website. Our plugins embed Power BI reports, Databricks dashboards and Genie Agents, and every member sees only the data they are entitled to.

  1. Your data

    Where it already lives

    • Power BI workspaces and semantic models
    • Databricks AI/BI dashboards, each with its Genie Agent
    • Azure SQL and your own APIs

Content lives in Umbraco, data stays in Power BI and Databricks, and the plugins join the two with each member's permissions applied.
The plugins

Built for Umbraco, by Umbraco developers

Power BI plugin

Power BI content as a first-class Umbraco building block.

  • Embed reports, dashboards or single visuals on any page
  • Editors choose content from your workspaces in the Umbraco backoffice
  • Row-level security applied from the signed-in member
  • Filters and pages set per placement, so one report serves many audiences
  • Embedded capacity, so viewers need no Power BI licence

Databricks plugin

AI/BI dashboards and Genie Agents, embedded for people without a Databricks account.

  • Embed published AI/BI dashboards on any page
  • A Genie Agent with every dashboard, built by Databricks from the dashboard's data when it is published
  • Members ask questions in plain English, about the data or a specific chart, and get the answer, the results and the SQL behind it
  • No Databricks account needed: the portal signs in as a service principal, issues each viewer a short-lived scoped token and brings Genie to them through the Genie Conversation API
  • Per-member filtering: each viewer's client or site is passed to the dashboard and applied in its SQL
  • Every viewer identified in the Databricks audit log, and the service principal limited to the dashboards and tables it needs
Why Umbraco

A real CMS, not a reporting tool with a logo on it

Umbraco is a mature, open-source .NET CMS used by thousands of organisations. Building on it means the portal is a proper website your team can run.

Your brand, everywhere

Your design system, your domain, your tone. Clients see your product, not a vendor's.

Editors, not developers

New pages, menus, news and report placements published by your team without a release.

Open and extensible

Open-source .NET on Azure, with no per-seat licence and nothing proprietary to get stuck in.

Certified expertise

Built and supported by our Certified Umbraco Professional, alongside the data engineers behind your models.
