Fragmented systems limited the firm’s advancement of its enterprise digital strategy. To set them up for success, our team created a single source of truth, enabling richer insights and AI-driven decision-making.
A leading Tax and Audit Firm provides comprehensive tax, audit, and advisory services to a wide range of enterprise clients. Committed to innovation and leveraging technology, the firm sought to harness its data assets to drive strategy, growth, and operational efficiency.
Challenge
The firm faced several barriers in advancing its digital strategy. Siloed operations created inefficiencies, while the absence of an enterprise view of the client limited visibility into performance and opportunities. Compounding this were data integrity issues and poor data governance, making it difficult to generate actionable insights and support strategic decision-making across the organisation.
Solution
To develop a robust Enterprise Digital Strategy, our team employed a data-driven, stakeholder-focused approach:
- Conducted over 90 stakeholder and SME interviews to uncover pain points and desired business insights.
- Led an “Art of the Possible” workshop to define and prioritise business requirements.
- Mapped end-to-end workflows and the current technical environment to identify gaps and provide actionable recommendations.
We worked closely with the customer to deliver:
- Digital Strategy Assessment Report outlining current state and improvement opportunities.
- Target-state architecture enabling advanced analytics, AI/ML solutions, and Generative AI capabilities.
- Data Governance Model to ensure enterprise-wide data quality and compliance.
- Defined organisational requirements and skill sets needed to support the new digital platform.
- Timeline and Implementation Roadmap for phased adoption of the strategy.
We developed a data warehouse leveraging Microsoft Azure Analysis Services and Azure Data Factory. Using Azure Data Factory to connect to various sources and migrate data, the warehouse then analyzes data with the Analysis Services to generate analytical reports. The reports are fed to Power BI, thus enabling users to view them as interactive dashboards in real-time.
Impact
- Implemented an Microsoft Fabric Data Lake, creating a single version of the truth.
- Established a comprehensive enterprise view of customers and enhanced utilisation insights.
- Provided profitability and margin insights by client, supporting strategic business decisions.
- Enabled AI/ML and Generative AI functionality, opening opportunities for advanced analytics and automation.
- Delivered a scalable, future-ready digital platform, positioning the firm to drive growth, innovation, and operational efficiency.
