Ad Astra: Revolutionizing Data Reporting and Analytics with AI
Empowering Multilingual Communication with Integrated Data Analytics
Insight
- Ad Astra, a global leader in multilingual communication solutions, faced multiple challenges, including delays in reporting and analytics, inaccurate data, and disconnected functional teams due to disparate data stores.
How we Helped
- Enterprise64 created an end-to-end solution with a proof of concept to acquire data from various sources and create reports.
- We automated the analytics, which reduced manual efforts and provided a comprehensive view of organizational data.
Project Overview
Enterprise64 partnered with Ad Astra to develop a six-week Proof of Concept (PoC) to automate their data reporting and analytics processes. The solution integrated data from various sources, reduced manual data handling, and created interactive Power BI dashboards for the Accounts and Operations teams. The PoC delivered a scalable, cloud-based environment with automated data refreshes, providing Ad Astra with a single source of truth for cross-functional analysis.
The Challenges
The client faced several challenges in their reporting and analytics processes. Their teams spent multiple days manually compiling reports due to fragmented data stored in silos, which led to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in the data.
The lack of integration between data sources made it difficult to get a comprehensive, unified view of the business, and manual data transformations and clean-up efforts further slowed down their operations. These issues affected decision-making and prevented the business from utilizing data effectively across departments.
The Solution
- Enterprise64 implemented an end-to-end data reporting solution as part of the Proof of Concept. The solution incorporated data from multiple sources, streamlined data preparation, and automated report generation.
- Key features included setting up a cloud environment, data pipelines for standardized data transformation, and creating interactive Power BI dashboards for the Accounts and Operations teams.
- These dashboards allowed for cross-functional analysis and provided a unified view of the organization.
- A self-service framework was introduced for ad-hoc analysis, reducing the dependency on manual reporting efforts.
The Impact
- Automated data refreshes reduced reporting time from several days to under 10 minutes, enhancing overall efficiency.
- The unified data view improved accuracy, eliminating errors caused by siloed data sources and providing a comprehensive dashboard view to the decision-makers.
- By moving past Excel’s limitations, the organization could now perform granular analysis and make data-driven decisions more effectively.
- Ad Astra’s leadership was impressed with the PoC’s success, which led to discussions about further collaboration, including expanding the reporting system across the entire organization, setting up a production environment including disaster recovery, backup, etc., and more.
