Transforming Data Management and Reporting

Challenge

The client is a leading education services provider and faces significant challenges with its data management and reporting systems. Their database lacked structure and organization, leading to inefficiencies in data processing and reporting. Additionally, their reporting system through Power BI was not optimized to meet the needs of their advisors, hindering their ability to monitor student information effectively. 

Our Process

Prudent Consulting Services stepped in to address the client’s data management and reporting challenges. The team began by     

  • Restructuring and organizing the client’s database
  • Implementing best practices of data warehousing and engineering to introduce layers of the database – Development, Stage, and Production. 
  • This ensured a systematic approach to data processing and deployment, with all new implementations undergoing rigorous testing in development and staging environments before being deployed in production.
  • Multiple dynamic tables, stored procedures (SPs), and functions were implemented to enhance the efficiency and integrity of the data pipeline. 
  • We also took charge of building key reporting dashboards in Power BI, creating four new dashboards tailored to the client’s specific needs. 
  • These dashboards provided advisors with vital insights into student information and activity, empowering them to make informed decisions and support students effectively.
  • Furthermore, we took on the responsibility of maintaining both the newly built and pre-existing dashboards, addressing any issues promptly to ensure uninterrupted access to critical data and insights.
