Unifying six disconnected systems into one governed analytics platform

Six siloed systems unified into a single governed Fabric platform — consistent KPIs, reliable reporting, and issues caught before users see them.

The challenge · Six systems, six truths

Every department reported off its own extract.

Six independent systems covered finance, project management, timesheets, budgets, and operations — and each department worked from its own copy of the data.

Reporting was inconsistent and slow, with no central version of the truth for project or financial KPIs.

How the STEAM framework shapes a buildOur delivery framework, end to end
Building an enterprise-grade business intelligence platform is no small undertaking, and finding a partner who can match both the technical complexity and the operational reality of your business is even harder. Dataracity did both. They navigated integration challenges across six disparate systems without losing sight of the bigger picture, and their command of the Microsoft stack meant we weren't spending cycles educating them on fundamentals. What set them apart was the strategic layer they brought — they weren't just executing tasks, they were thinking alongside me about what this platform needed to do long-term. We now have end-to-end operational metrics with clarity we've never had before — leadership can directly connect that data to P&L performance in real time. I would recommend Dataracity without hesitation.
