Challenges faced
Kindeva faced significant challenges in managing and integrating its vast amounts of data. These challenges were identified by Sonia Keeney, the Director of Data Enablement, upon her arrival at Kindeva. The primary issues included:
-
Data complexity barriers
-
Disparate systems
-
A team in desperate need of solutions
Sonia’s complex struggles while attempting to integrate Kindeva’s D365 Finance and Operations with Power BI exposed a crucial need to streamline the company’s processes for unifying data sources.
For the company to deliver on their extensive business reporting requirements, they needed a unified stream of consistent, trusted, quality data. Due to a lack of communication between disparate data systems, different teams were simultaneously building similar reports with conflicting results, making it impossible to reconcile the data successfully.
When asked about the company’s state, Sonia said, “Our company is rapidly evolving, and with that comes a need for quality, consistent data.” Kindeva needed a true partnership and collaborator to provide support and solutions to effectively address its increasing challenges in data management and reporting. This enhanced system allows it to govern its data and adjust its strategies in a timely fashion.
Solution outcomes
Zap Data Hub provided Sonia’s team at Kindeva with a user-friendly interface that allowed them to unify their D365 F&O data with their existing in-house systems to create a streamlined, centralized collection of trusted information.
Zap’s easy-to-use software empowered these relatively new but passionate data engineers, which allowed them to quickly review and manipulate fields, identify blanks and unique codes, and perform the simple steps necessary to create comprehensive reports and dashboards in Power BI.
