Enhances insights and operational efficiency with a modern Azure-based data warehouse.
A leading not-for-profit organisation dedicated to making a meaningful impact faced challenges in managing and analysing information effectively due to an increasing volume of data.
To address these challenges, the organisation partnered with Data-Driven to implement a Modern Data Warehouse on Microsoft Azure. This new platform integrates Salesforce data, automates reporting, and enhances data security and governance. The solution leverages Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and Power BI to provide real-time insights, improve operational efficiency, and optimise cloud costs. As a result, the client has significantly improved performance on several internal metrics, streamlined reporting, and enhanced decision-making capabilities.
The client faced multiple challenges with their legacy data infrastructure, primarily revolving around:
To address these challenges, the client engaged Data-Driven to build a Modern Data Warehouse on Azure, integrating Salesforce data with a scalable, automated analytics platform.
Data-Driven designed and deployed a production-ready modern data warehouse tailored to the client’s needs. The solution integrated Azure Synapse Analytics to establish a centralised data platform capable of efficiently storing and analysing data. A key component of the project involved migrating core Salesforce data entities to Azure, ensuring seamless data integration and eliminating inconsistencies. To streamline data ingestion and transformation processes, Azure Synapse Analytics was utilised, significantly reducing the need for manual data handling.
Security and scalability were also prioritised. The implementation of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) through BICEP enabled:
To enhance data security, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) was applied, ensuring that:
Additionally, Power BI was integrated to provide:
Following the implementation of the modern Azure-based data warehouse, the client has achieved transformative improvements in data management and operational efficiency.
Reporting processes that previously took weeks to complete are now automated and can be generated in minutes, saving valuable time and resources.
Real-time analytics have enhanced engagement by providing end users with up-to-date insights into their contributions and the impact of their support.
Centralised data governance has strengthened compliance and security, ensuring that donor information is managed with the highest standards of protection.
