Roadmap and Strategy for a Power Company to Design and Build a Robust Data & Analytics Platform with Microsoft Fabric

The customer wanted to identify a roadmap to design and build an enterprise grade Data & Analytics Platform leveraging Microsoft Fabric to eliminate their existing business challenges. Their primary data source, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, offered insufficient reporting capabilities and time-consuming data extraction. They currently relied on JET Analytics which provides built-in or customized cubes and data warehouses created on top of Business Central data to fulfill their extended reporting needs. The customer's existing analytics processes also faces significant challenges. Repeated data pulls and manual transformations lead to multiple sources of truth. Accessing historical data is difficult, and users heavily depended on internal database tools with limited capabilities. They also faced significant challenges in their reporting processes which included Excel crashes due to large data volumes, manual processes for time-consuming financial reports, currency translation errors, data duplication, and poor system integration. To streamline operations and improve accuracy, the customer required enhanced automation, better data integration, and a robust, centralized data warehouse and reporting tools.
