Faster insights. Better forecasts. More confident leadership.

Emilia is a true powerhouse here at KOKAI, and her contributions span far beyond just her technical expertise. As a consultant specialising in front-end Bizview and one of our first Aimplan consultants, Emilia plays a key role in supporting both our partners and clients with specialist knowledge.

There was no doubt after the feedback we received – you want to see more real-world examples of how we at KOKAI help companies succeed through our solutions and services.

At KOKAI, we help businesses unlock the full potential of their data and planning processes. Our expertise in Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Aimplan empowers your team to seamlessly analyse, visualise, and forecast, driving strategic decisions and tangible growth.

Q1 2025 is in the books, and it’s been a remarkable one. Despite global uncertainty, KOKAI has delivered record-breaking results - driven by strong teamwork, strategic focus, and a relentless commitment to our customers.

At KOKAI, we believe in celebrating the people who make a real difference— not just for us as a team, but for our customers too. This week, we’re thrilled to give a well-deserved shout-out to Fredrick Halvorsen.

Static budgets and one-dimensional forecasts no longer cut it. The companies that succeed are those who plan for what could happen, not just what they hope will happen.

Some people are simply the backbone of a company, and Hans Coster is one of them. As one of KOKAI’s veterans, he’s been with us from the very beginning - and with many of our team members for what feels like a lifetime!

In today’s business landscape, data-driven decision-making is not just an advantage - it’s a necessity. Business Intelligence (BI) and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) are at the core of this transformation, enabling organisations to streamline operations, improve forecasting, and stay ahead of the competition.

Let’s be honest—navigating the world of data analytics, AI, and reporting can sometimes feel like assembling IKEA furniture without the manual.

But what if you had step-by-step guides to take you from raw data to actionable insights—all in one platform? That’s exactly what Microsoft Fabric’s 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗼-𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿!

At KOKAI, we believe great teams are built by great people. This week, we want to recognize Espen P. Kringstad - not just for his expertise, but for the way he brings people together.

Espen is an outstanding team player and a true role model. With his deep knowledge in IT and finance, combined with his warm and inclusive presence, he makes everyone feel welcome and valued.

At KOKAI, we are always looking for new ways to bridge academic knowledge with real-world business challenges. This fall, we had the opportunity to collaborate with two talented students from BI Norwegian Business School as part of their STR3605 Strategy course. The project was designed to provide the students with hands-on experience while offering us fresh insights into strategic analysis and business development.

We’ve heard rumours on LinkedIn suggesting that it’s not possible to create budgets and forecasts directly in Power BI.
Instead, they say Excel is the most common option. But did you know that with Aimplan, you can actually input your budgets directly through Power BI?
