Socio Data Management becomes a Microsoft Partner

A recognition that anchors our Power BI strategy

We are pleased to announce that Socio Data Management has joined the Microsoft Partner Network. This membership recognises the investment our teams have made in the Power BI ecosystem, and confirms the path we have set ourselves: bringing to Power BI the functional depth that market researchers and data analysts expect.

Our first Microsoft-certified visual: the Statistical Cross-Tab

In the wake of this announcement, we are releasing our first Microsoft-certified visual, now published on Microsoft AppSource: the SDMPBI Statistical Cross-Tab.

The cross-tab is the reference tool of the market research profession — the one that lets you look at a question from every angle, cross variables, and test the statistical robustness of a difference. Until now, achieving that level of ergonomics and analytical depth inside Power BI required workarounds. Our visual delivers these capabilities natively, in a component validated by Microsoft.

What the visual offers

• Multi-level cross-tabulations on rows and columns, with customisable totals and sub-totals
• Significance testing built directly into the table
• Analyst-oriented conditional formatting
• Dynamic sorting and smooth navigation through the data
• Native Power BI compatibility, with the "Microsoft Certified" label guaranteeing security and maintenance

Why Microsoft certification matters

A Microsoft-certified visual has passed a code and security review carried out by Microsoft. For your Power BI users, this concretely means:

• Availability in every export context (PDF, PowerPoint, email subscriptions)
• A security guarantee: no external network calls, no data leakage
• Ongoing maintenance aligned with platform evolutions

The start of a wider suite

The Statistical Cross-Tab is the first building block of a collection we are putting together: the SDMPBI Suite. It will bring together our advanced chart visuals (histograms, multi-series curves, heatmaps) and our narrative tiles, all designed for the specific needs of market research and data science.
