"Just based on the cost of the licences for our old communications platform and switching off the datacentre footprint where it used to be hosted has delivered a huge saving."
“We were running six different systems, all interconnected by convoluted, manual, and volatile integrations. Our initial goal was to make our core business processes as robust and future-proof as possible.”
"The new reports we’ve created with Power BI have been life-changing. I’ve even heard stories of associates spending more time with their families because they no longer spend hours gathering data before morning meetings."
“Increasing the data sources is merely a means, and what is important is how to utilize the data. We are currently in the stage of determining how to utilize internal data, and we must proceed to the next stage of using this mechanism to resolve customer issues. In order to do so, it is considered necessary to promote internal data utilization to accumulate know-how and share it with members of the business departments providing services to customers."
“The problem was that there were few personnel in the project who had a need for the information (figures) to be collected, those in divisions preparing business figures, and accounting personnel processing these figures from an accounting perspective. If we were to build the system without addressing this point, the required data could have been incomplete, causing discrepancies in the fundamental parts. Therefore, we spent much time on the process of narrowing down the required data to improve quality. The initial plan was to go into full operation in June 2021, but it was delayed until September to improve quality."
"To stay ahead of the curve, we are taking a page out of the business-to-consumer (B2C) playbook and focusing on personalized B2B experiences instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. Customer Insights gives us the 360-degree customer view essential for driving personalized, consumer-like communications."
"We want the Nation to be able to support itself on its own terms by creating sustainable careers and employment."
“It was key to implement a project that had the possibility of enriching the current commercial system to support and enable our frontline workers with new capabilities, assuring our performance within the operations and based on internal and external data, drive exponential decisions to win in the market."
"The capabilities that Azure Synapse Analytics has of being able to handle a large amount of data together with Power BI, and being able to visualize calculations and information that occur behind it are essential for collaborators to be able to make decisions at a global level."
"We can't have spreadsheets flowing around the business with different numbers. With Power BI, we have a single-source reporting model that allows associates to drill down into the most relevant details using their preferred method and enables them to manage their part of the Walmart business more effectively."
"The amount of upfront effort required for our financial analysts to locate, access, and consume data left very little time for actual analysis."
"The flexibility in which a user can interact with their data in Power BI has proven to be a critical enabler of our finance transformation process by helping the team transition from legacy Excel-based systems to Power BI."
“Our main challenge was the paper-based old communication infrastructure. Being a state company, any changes of strategic impact also require going through bureaucratic interactions with institutions that regulate our activity."
“After moving to the Azure cloud and implementing Power BI, the information is available in one day. Our salespeople can now make better business decisions because they don’t need to wait until the end of the quarter anymore. And, of course, the data quality is next level.”
"We had to offer a solution for a process that we didn’t have in place. As we searched and evaluated market tools, they would not be ready by the time we were expecting to have the first stage of hiring."
