Migration from IT-Dependent Business Objects to Self-Service Power BI for a Global Mobility Services Company

February 8, 2025
Migration from IT-Dependent Business Objects to Self-Service Power BI for a Global Mobility Services Company

A leading global mobility services company relied on an outdated, IT-driven Business Objects (BO) reporting system for operational and financial analytics. Generating reports requires extensive IT involvement, leading to delays, bottlenecks, and a lack of real-time insights. Business users struggled to access data independently, limiting their ability to make agile, data-driven decisions.

To stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry, the company sought a modern, self-service analytics solution that would empower non-technical business users with real-time, on-demand insights while reducing IT dependency.

How did we do:

With our strong global technical expertise and strategic partnership, we executed a seamless migration from Business Objects to Power BI, creating a flexible, scalable, and business-user-driven analytics ecosystem.

Comprehensive Migration Strategy & Execution: 

  • Conducted an end-to-end assessment of existing BO reports, universes, and data models, ensuring a smooth transition to Power BI.
  • Designed a scalable Power BI architecture, enabling real-time reporting, interactive dashboards, and advanced analytics.
  • Migrated critical KPIs, dashboards, and datasets, optimizing them for enhanced visualization and user experience.

Self-Service Enablement for Business Users: 

  • Developed intuitive Power BI dashboards with drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to build, modify, and share reports independently.
  • Integrated AI-driven insights and natural language querying (NLP) to enable business users to ask questions and receive instant, automated insights.
  • Implemented role-based access and governance, ensuring data security while empowering various business units with controlled flexibility.

Advanced Data Integration & Real-Time Insights: 

  • Unified data from multiple enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, Fleet Management, HR, and Financial systems) into a centralized Power BI data model.
  • Optimized query performance and data refresh schedules to deliver real-time insights with minimal latency.
  • Embedded Power BI within existing enterprise applications, ensuring seamless access to insights within day-to-day workflows.

Global Training & Change Management Support: 

  • Provided comprehensive Power BI training and workshops, ensuring a smooth transition for business teams.
  • Established a Center of Excellence (CoE) to drive self-service BI adoption, best practices, and continuous improvement.

RESULT & BUSINESS VALUE: 

  • 70% reduction in IT dependency, with business users independently generating and modifying reports.
  • Real-time, interactive dashboards, replacing static and manually generated Business Objects reports.
  • Faster decision-making, with on-demand analytics and AI-driven insights supporting business operations.
