A leading building material conglomerate in Australia and New Zealand was grappling with a massive challenge
A leading building material conglomerate in Australia and New Zealand was grappling with a massive challenge: fragmented data spread across multiple systems, impeding their ability to make informed decisions. Collaborating with Nihilent, they ventured on a transformative initiative to centralise and optimise their data resources.
Nihilent spearheaded the implementation of an Enterprise Data Lake, harmonising data from 12 disparate sources, including ERP and CRM systems, into a single, unified repository. This centralised hub ensured consistency in reporting and analysis, laying a strong foundation for data-driven decision-making. Leveraging Azure Data Lake Storage for its scalability and cost-effectiveness, the company maintained stringent data quality standards through robust consistency processes.
To democratise data access, Nihilent equipped non-technical users with intuitive BI tools, empowering them to explore data independently. Complementing this, an Enterprise Data Warehouse was a centralised knowledge repository, facilitating streamlined data analysis and reporting processes. Automated data ingestion pipelines facilitated the seamless integration of raw data from source systems to the data lake, all working as a strong foundation for data integration and analytics within the organisation.
The Impact:
With a unified data view spanning all business units, silos were eradicated, fostering collaboration and uniformity across the organisation. The data lake emerged as a valuable asset, catering to diverse analytical requirements across departments. Over 100 users were empowered with self-service BI tools, enabling them to autonomously make data-driven decisions and reduce IT dependency.
Standardised reports and KPIs ensured consistency and comparability of data across all units, providing a comprehensive overview of the organisation’s performance and health.
Outcome:
The organization’s data transformation journey stands as a testament to its remarkable evolution, transitioning from 12 disparate systems to a standardized set of 50 KPIs, empowering over 100 users across three business units. This case study exemplifies Nihilent’s expertise in Modern Data Platform Implementation, driving the organization from fragmented data to unified insights. This transformation not only fosters informed decision-making but also ignites business growth trajectories.
