Avanade is a leading digital innovator operating in multiple geographies and markets – each with their own processes, measures, tools and systems. As a result, organizational data was split between various source systems and did not mimic the flow of real operational business processes. Employees struggled to access the right data to help them do their jobs. By relying on embedded data and analytics, Avanade wanted to break down its data silos and create a single source of truth so that employees could understand, trust and access data insights to improve the speed and accuracy of their decision-making.

Avanade’s ITS team brought data from disparate sources onto the Avanade Enterprise Analytics Platform, leveraging Microsoft Azure PaaS technologies. The solution, known as the Unified Insights Framework, is a network of Power BI analytics and insights apps where users can easily find what they need and ask questions to determine causes and predictive outlooks so they can make better business decisions.

Avanade eliminated its reliance on static spreadsheets and PowerPoint decks. Key insights are now presented to users in real-time from anywhere, anytime and on any device. This innovative analytics platform is a win for all:

• Employees are more engaged and supported to do their best work.
• Executives are better equipped to track and monitor business in real-time so they can make the right investments.
• Clients can be confident that their priorities are being met with the upmost efficiency and with appropriate allocation of financial, technical and talent resources.
