Client Needs
Our client approached us with an accelerated Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) strategy aimed at expanding its market share and product portfolio. They sought a future-proof platform capable of swiftly integrating data from these acquired companies, providing actionable insights, and aiding in continuous optimization of operations, sales, costs, and resources. The existing data warehouse of our client was neither robust nor reliable enough to meet these needs, and its development and management costs were substantial. What our client primarily required from a technology partner was a reimagined data strategy, fortified analytics capabilities, and the construction of new data warehousing to propel growth.
Our team went to work laying out a plan to meet these needs:
- Integrate 30+ siloed systems and ERPs to generate cross-functional insights.
- Standardize and automate processes
- Use actionable insights to reduce operational costs
- Monetize cross-sell and up-sell opportunities
- Improve resource utilization across all units
- Reduce analytics TCO and time to insights
- Create scalable and future-proof data and analytics foundation
Solution Journey
NexaQuotient was enlisted by the executive team to assess and enhance the organization’s analytics capabilities. The client aimed to establish an in-house data team and sought NexaQuotient as its strategic and long-term analytics partner. Collaborating closely with the leadership team, we delved into their strategic vision and expectations. Simultaneously, we worked alongside their existing BI vendor to assess the current approach, architecture, processes, tools, and bottlenecks. Merging our client’s domain knowledge with our profound technology, data, and analytics expertise, we crafted a data platform strategy and roadmap. Through collaborative iterations, we transformed their rigid and non-scalable data processes into a future-proof platform. This platform could efficiently extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from various ERPs and 3rd party systems, enrich and organize it in a flexible data warehouse, and analyze it using reporting tools such as PowerBI. Leveraging industry best practices, scalable cloud infrastructure, and a skilled data team, we enhanced the reliability, cost economics, and time-to-market of all analytics initiatives.
