Modern BI Architecture Accelerates Decision-Making for a Global Events Company

Challenge

The client runs its event management platform with multiple disparate systems supporting and surrounding it. For example, the financial analytical system on Oracle, sales analytics using Microsoft platform, operational applications with their own database and using several different flat file based systems.

The decision support system required consolidation of information across all these applications either manually or through some archaic methodology. This resulted in sub optimal allocation of resources to collect information and eventually delay in decision making

The client felt there was room for improvement in process and extracting ROI by using a BI technology driven solution.

Our Solution

BizAcuity designed a structured framework to address these challenges and build a foundation for effective modern BI architecture. Key components of the solution included:

Developing a BI strategy that covered discovery, infrastructure review, data architecture planning, and a high-level BI implementation roadmap.

Conducting a thorough tool evaluation focused on agility, intuitiveness, scalability, security, and ease of use for business users.

Identifying a combined enterprise and open-source BI technology stack that aligned with the client’s needs.

Implementing Data Warehouse Modeling and Design to create a unified structure supporting multiple business domains.

Developing and automating ETL processes to streamline data transformation and enrichment.

Creating industry-specific reporting and analytics layers to ensure that insights were both useful and actionable.

This approach ensured that the BI implementation was not only technically sound but also aligned with how different teams across the organization used and consumed data.
