Streamlined reporting for a Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer by consolidating 65+ manually updated dashboards into a Unified, Automated System with a Single Source of Truth

About the client

Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer

Challenges

• Over 65 manually updated dashboards, leading to significant time consumption for data refresh and maintenance.
• Lack of a Single Source of Truth, with data stored across multiple databases and transformed through intermediate Excel processes, resulting in inconsistencies.
• Inefficient processes hamper timely and informed decision-making.

Approach

• Data Flow Mapping: Conducted a thorough assessment of existing data pipelines and manual transformation steps to identify bottlenecks.
• Technology Selection: Collaborated with stakeholders to select and customize Microsoft’s Power Platform to meet the client’s reporting and automation requirements.
• Incremental Rollout: Designed a phased implementation plan to ensure smooth integration of automation tools with existing workflows.
• Skill Enablement: Trained client teams to effectively use Power BI, PowerApps, and Power Automate for self-service analytics and process automation.

Solution

• Automated data pulling from multiple sources using Azure Data Factory (ADF), enabling real-time and near real-time access to data.
• Leveraged Microsoft Power BI for dynamic and interactive dashboards, PowerApps for customized applications, and Power Automate for robotic process automation (RPA).
• Established a Single Source of Truth, consolidating data into one consistent and reliable system.
