Client Challenges
Limited collaboration
Cast Consultancy stored 1,000's of unstructured data leading to data silos which hindered team collaboration and effective data-driven decision-making.
Safeguarding sensitive data
Presenting data to clients can sometimes expose confidential information. Our client needed a solution which could allow them to showcase their work while adhering to compliance.
Lack of reusable dashboards
Absence of efficient reusable dashboards posed risks of human error, wasted time, inconsistencies and a lack of standardized processes.
Advanced visualization required
Finding specific data was also a major challenge due to data silos. The company needed a modern platform to easily facilitate access, display and benchmark their data sets.
Proventeq's Solution
Enriching data
Our team restructured and consolidated all data sources into one location to streamline data storage. This phase of the project will facilitate collaboration and data-driven decision-making with a reliable data source.
Enabling security controls
Using Power BI's Row Level Security (RLS), our experts enabled control access, setting permissions and privileges for only authorized users.
Creating reusable dashboards
We created templates and frameworks for dashboards, allowing for easy adaptation to various datasets, teams or use cases without starting from scratch.
Streamlining data visualization
Using Power BI connectors, we connected to their central data model. Filters, Navigations, Slicers, Themes and Styles were implemented to streamline data access and convey insights.
The Results
Improved collaboration & data insights
Implementing Power BI dashboards has streamlined collaboration by sharing real-time data, interactive reports and customizable Views. The Views, Filters and holistic access to information make presentations more effective and provide better insights for teams and clients.
Increased productivity with reusable dashboards
Users can quickly access data visualizations from reusable dashboards. This feature is advantageous in large organizations like Cast Consultancy, saving time to rebuild dashboards from scratch and improving consistency, productivity and accuracy across teams.
Enhanced security & compliance
With Microsoft's advanced security features in Power BI, Cast Consultancy has mitigated the risk of disclosing confidential information and ensured sensitive data is only accessible to its intended audience.
