Data-Driven Decision Making for Public Transport
Project Overview
Our client, a government entity responsible for public transportation in the state, faced significant challenges in obtaining consistent and timely data for decision-making. With 12 different reporting systems and multiple data warehouses, the organization struggled with data discrepancies and inefficiencies. Leadership often received conflicting numbers from different reporting tools, leading to delays and confusion. Additionally, the organization had many legacy systems and conflicting opinions on the vision for their enterprise business intelligence (BI) system.
The Challenge
- Inconsistent data from multiple reporting systems.
- Delays in obtaining critical information for decision-making.
- Legacy systems causing inefficiencies and conflicting visions for BI.
- Need for a unified enterprise BI strategy and system.
The Solution
Our team was engaged to create an enterprise BI strategy and roadmap, assist in technology selection, and provide macro-level designs for the new data warehouse and data governance framework.
Approach
- 1 Requirement Gathering: Conducted a comprehensive requirement gathering exercise across 20 agencies and departments to understand their needs and identify source systems.
- 2 Blueprint Creation: Developed a detailed blueprint for the new system, covering functional, informational, governance, technology, infrastructure, and security aspects.
- 3 Roadmap Development: Created a strategic roadmap for system implementation.
- 4 RFP Development: Assisted in creating RFPs for both technology selection and a service provider to implement the new enterprise BI system.
The Results
The project brought renewed hope and clarity to the client. Key outcomes included:
- Unified Systems: Provided a clear vision to unify different systems under one umbrella, ensuring a single source of truth for data.
- Consistent Reporting: Addressed data discrepancies and improved the consistency and reliability of reporting.
- Efficient Decision-Making: Enabled faster and more informed executive decision-making by providing timely and accurate data.
- Strategic Roadmap: Delivered a comprehensive roadmap and strategy for implementing the enterprise BI system.
