The Challenge

DataBank historically used a combination of SQL Server and PowerBI / SSRS to produce operational reports for the business. This resulted in 'BI Sprawl' via the creation slow to produce, duplicative and unreliable reports across the organization. They desired help from a partner to consolidate data ingestion and modernize data modeling and reporting practices. 

Our Approach

Aimpoint Digital replicated source data into a modern, layered data lakehouse in Snowflake where developers own curation and modeling of the data to 'serve' in data models that business users can consume in Sigma. We trained developers in code-first methodologies and how to function in this 'new world' of building a data lakehouse as well as end users in how to self-serve analytics/dashboards in Sigma.
