Software firm accelerates data-driven reporting
Manual reporting may not even produce the benefits that businesses are looking for.
Overview
Manual reporting processes can be time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to manage.
In the end, they may not even produce the benefits that businesses are looking for – namely, actionable insight into every aspect of business operations that can guide strategic decision-making.
One of our clients working in the asset management and software monetization space recently came to OneSix looking for help in replacing its manual reporting tools with a solution better suited for fast-paced analytics.
Our team set out to work on developing a Data Warehouse solution that would effectively accelerate internal reporting and deliver valuable insights faster than ever.
Our solution
Shining a light on performance concerns.
Work began with OneSix engineers analyzing our client’s existing data systems and Data Warehouse environment. We also consulted with the company’s executive leadership to define KPIs and other metrics that would accurately gauge operational performance and its impact on the customer experience.
Our team used Microsoft SQL Server tools such as SSIS for ETL to integrate the company’s Data Warehouse with its various data sources, including Salesforce, Microsoft Excel, and multiple SQL databases. SQL Server Analysis Services provided the foundation to construct a tabular model and calculate reporting metrics. We also built a Support Insights dashboard with Microsoft Power BI to help our client’s users create reports and data visualizations sharing them with other stakeholders.
