Our client set out to modernize its legacy business intelligence environment and improve how users accessed and acted on data. With thousands of reports spread across multiple SAP Business Objects environments, the existing landscape made it difficult to find relevant and timely insights.
The organization faced several challenges that hindered data trust and governance maturity:
Lack of timely and accurate insights from a large, fragmented reporting environment
More than 2,700 reports distributed across multiple BI platforms
Low user adoption due to report complexity and redundancy
High infrastructure and support costs associated with maintaining legacy systems
Limited predictive and prescriptive analytics capabilities, reducing the overall value of enterprise data

Conducted a purpose-usability-bucketing assessment to evaluate and rationalize the existing report inventory
Developed modernization eligibility criteria to identify reports for migration and consolidation
Leveraged our in-house SourceIQ accelerator and proven methodology to improve re-platforming speed and accuracy
Leveraged agile delivery methodologies to modernize reporting in iterative releases
Focused on delivering business-centric KPIs and supporting self-service analytics capabilities
