Case Study

A Project for a Large Government Department

The client had an Excel based reporting solution that required a lot of manual data manipulation; downloading data from various data sources. It was a clumsy system that wasted time and resources and didn’t provide the client with the information they needed.

I recommended using Microsoft Power BI as their business intelligence software and Microsoft Azure for cloud services. This would streamline data collection, enable staff to access it more efficiently and provide the company with the information they were interested in having.

As a Data Architect Consultant I designed an automated data load and a cleansing and modelling platform I built in Azure SQL Database and optimised it for querying and reporting purposes.

Then I designed and built Power BI dashboards and reports to show Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and salient metrics in a visually appealing format.

The end to end business intelligence solution that I provided gave the client a data model built against best practices, with insightful and interactive reporting.
