Customer had an elaborate and complicated DW solution using various AWS services. The reports that were custom developed using these services were error prone due to the complexity and changing environment. It was also very difficult for them to keep finding resources to fix the issues, hence they ended up going back to weekly manual reporting. The cost prohibitive error prone solution forced customer to rethink platform and reporting needs. The customer reached out to VNB Team to help them move to a more flexible reporting architecture using Microsoft Power BI.

VNB Solution

After a few initial discovery sessions and analysis, Customer and VNB team decided together it was necessary to reverse engineer existing reporting platform including reports and data sources as subject matter experts were not available to provide insights into data and process flow. VNB team did detailed analysis of code base of all aspects of the existing AWS services framework. VNB team proposed a new solution with Power BI as reporting tool along with SQL server and SharePoint as data sources. VNB team also provided industry standard best practices that govern key disciplines of design and development of Power BI reports to help client in future implementations.
