Challenge
NZCU faced several challenges with its existing data management setup:
Disparate Databases
Data was scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult to obtain a unified view of business operations.
Data Integration Issues
Inconsistencies and fragmentation in data hindered comprehensive analysis and reporting.
Limited Reporting Capabilities
The existing reporting systems were insufficient to handle the complexity and volume of data, leading to delays and inaccuracies.
Solution
To address these challenges, we implemented a solution that included data migration, the setup of a data warehouse, and the creation of management reporting systems. The key components of the solution were:
Data Migration
Consolidation of Databases: We migrated data from multiple disparate databases into a unified data warehouse, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
ETL Processes: Implemented robust Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes to facilitate smooth data migration and transformation.
Data Warehouse Setup
Scalable Infrastructure: Established a scalable cloud-based data warehouse capable of handling large volumes of data.
Data Integration: Integrated data from various sources into the data warehouse, providing a single source of truth for all business data.
Management Reporting Systems
