Managing fragmented data across on-site locations and spreadsheets often leads to inefficiencies and inaccuracies. Our team enhanced a leading public agency’s operations by implementing a unified reporting system with Microsoft Azure Data Factory and Power BI, significantly improving data accuracy, efficiency, and decision-making.
This leading public agency supplies domestic water and handles a sewer system for several locations in the United States.
Challenge
The company stored data using on-site locations and spreadsheets. While the spreadsheets supplied relevant information, the data was scattered and sometimes unreliable, so the company needed to reduce the amount of time and effort allocated for gathering accurate data.
Lösung
Orion worked with the company to implement a single reporting platform, Microsoft Azure Data Factory. This factory is connected to all of the data sources within the company and provides real-time reports through Power BI, thus allowing employees to monitor everything from a single source and easily identify and resolve issues.
