The client was integrating two business units and the complexity of working over multiple geographical regions had a big impact on the quality of the business reporting.
We identified two major issues that would be highly difficult, but useful for the business to address with respect to the business targets:
We selected two geographical regions, based on relevance and scale. Together with the business, we analysed the regional reports and how these are created and maintained.
Due to the lack of in-house knowledge on the lineage and calculations, we re-engineered and consolidated the reports into one new, aligned and global dashboard per topic, based on the raw data.
Together with the data engineering team, we put both dashboards into production with periodically automated workflows on the central data platform that are future-proof.
