Modernising data infrastructure for scalability and innovation

The client is a leading telecommunication infrastructure company headquartered in Nigeria, and operates over 44,000 towers across the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. 

 BUSINESS NEED 

The client faced challenges with their data model characterized by inconsistencies and duplications in their master data, leading to significant data quality issues. Recognizing the critical nature of this concern, they sought to enhance their data management framework by implementing a centralized system. 

SYSTECH’S DELIVERY 

Leveraging expertise in Profisee and Azure Purview, Systech embarked on a comprehensive initiative to revamp the client’s Master Data Management (MDM) framework. The objective was clear: to empower the client with a scalable, efficient, and future-ready data management framework that aligns seamlessly with their strategic objectives. 

 OVERVIEW 

Systech deployed a sophisticated Master Data Management (MDM) solution using Profisee, Azure Data Lake, and Azure Purview. The focus was on consolidating and optimizing the client’s data assets to improve agility, efficiency, and facilitate data-driven decision-making. 

 THE CHALLENGE 

Integrating the disparate data sources was the main challenge. This created hurdles in establishing robust data governance practices and managing the vast scale and complexity. The existence of data silos and inefficient processes hindered effective data utilization and agility in responding to market dynamics. 

THE DETAILED SOLUTION PROCESS 

Through a centralized system, the MDM solution facilitated data standardization, cleansing, and enrichment across various datasets. Through a seamless integration of Azure Data Factory (ADF) and Profisee API was used to ingest data from different source systems, 

 A unified source of truth brought in a comprehensive view of master data, reduced inconsistencies, enhanced data quality and decision-making. De-duplicating analytics by matching and survivorship rules helped identify repetitive data from multiple sources and eliminate the inconsistences in data completeness and data validation. Data profiling techniques and quality rules were implemented to maintain data integrity and evaluate various source systems to develop a Common Data Model for Master Data.  

 The optimized data model streamlined data access and analysis, facilitated business growth and innovation through improved insights and informed decision-making. The automated notifications for proposed matches, created by match strategies, ensured timely resolution of data anomalies.  

 With Power BI’s advanced capabilities, portals were established to track data quality metrics and generate reports. With extensive training and ongoing support, the stakeholders were able to monitor the effectiveness of the MDM solution, and gain insights into data trends, empowering informed decision-making. 

 THE IMPACT 

 Fortified data governance: The implementation of the advanced MDM solution ensured compliance with regulatory standards and industry best practices. By centralizing data management processes, the company could effectively govern data usage, access, and security. 

 Elevated data quality: Through data cleansing and standardization techniques, the MDM solution significantly elevated the quality of data assets, minimizing errors, redundancies, and inconsistencies. The company was able to achieve a higher level of data accuracy and reliability, bolstering the decision-making processes. 

 Increased operational efficiency: Streamlining data management workflows and providing a unified view of data assets meant faster access to critical information, reduced manual intervention, and optimized resource utilization. 

 Augmented decisions: With comprehensive insights into their data ecosystem, the client gained the ability to make informed decisions swiftly. The MDM solution facilitated better data analysis, trend identification, and predictive modelling, empowering stakeholders to drive strategic initiatives with confidence. 

 Catalysed innovation and growth: By laying a solid foundation for data management, the company could leverage its data assets more effectively, identify new business opportunities, and adapt swiftly to market changes, ensuring long-term success and competitiveness. 

 THE ADDED VALUE 

Systech’s implementation enabled the client to realize the full potential of their data, increase productivity, and drive sustainable business growth. With a scalable, efficient, and future-ready data management framework, the client is well-positioned to adapt to evolving market dynamics, ensuring sustained success in the evolving market.
