Apption helps an innovative telecom company implement Azure data best practices
Challenge
A telecom company with a fast-growing data footprint engaged with Apption to create a scalable plan to grow with Azure’s suite of data tools. The company asked our team to reinvent their existing reporting, documentation, data pipelines, and optimize their current use of Azure resources.
The company struggled with scattered business logic and unmanaged access and control processes. This resulted in limited adoption of PowerBI and numerous reporting inconsistencies.
The existing data pipelines were undocumented and difficult to maintain. With no centralized deployment or logic and pipelines running a mix of Azure functions, SQL stored procedures, and custom C# code – this meant unnecessary complexity and multiple points of failure.
Solution
Apption was able to deliver a comprehensive audit of their existing systems and discover the highest risk, most critical points of failure. Our team was able to set the company on a path to robust data governance for BI reporting, state-of-the-art documentation, DevOps best practices, and reliable data pipelines. The proposed best-practices solution leveraged:
Sharepoint Automation
Outcome
The telecom company was able to implement a reliable data infrastructure, knowing they were following all Azure best practices and regulatory requirements. The solution optimized their costs as the company’s data footprint grew exponentially. The internal data team was able to streamline their onboarding and focus their efforts on delivering new data insights rather than troubleshooting failing pipelines.
