The Challenge

This organization was operating with more than 11 disconnected platforms for CRM, ERP, and project management—resulting in fragmented data, manual reporting, and operational inefficiencies. Teams were exporting data to Excel to generate reports, spending hours reconciling numbers, and training new hires just to maintain outdated workflows.

The pain points were clear:

  • Data silos with no cross-system integration
  • Time-intensive, error-prone manual processes
  • Inconsistent historical data and low data trust
  • Limited visibility across departments
  • Rigid reporting structures and limited scalability

They needed more than a centralized database—they needed a strategic platform that could grow with the business and support future AI initiatives.

"Launch helped transform our disconnected tech stack into a unified, AI-ready platform built for speed, scale, and smarter decisions."

The Solution

Launch conducted a strategic data assessment and recommended a shift to Microsoft Fabric—an integrated, AI-ready platform built for scalability. We developed a comprehensive architecture that would not only centralize data but also automate reporting, reduce redundancy, and prepare the organization for next-gen tools.

We delivered:

  • End-to-end data centralization across 11+ systems
  • Data transformation using pipelines, semantic models, and Python notebooks
  • Real-time reporting and dashboarding capabilities
  • A scalable Medallion Architecture for analytics and governance
  • AI readiness with tools like Copilot and Azure Machine Learning

This solution eliminated manual bottlenecks and positioned the client to leverage data as a strategic asset.

The Results

The client now operates with a unified, intelligent data platform that’s built for growth:

  • Time Savings & Efficiency Gains
    Replaced manual Excel processes across 40+ projects monthly—saving hours each week.
  • Data Confidence & Clarity
    Centralized architecture reduced risk and increased data trust across departments.
  • AI-Ready Platform
    The foundation is now in place for advanced tools like Copilot, automated dashboarding, and machine learning models.
  • Improved Team Experience
    Employees are free to focus on strategic work rather than low-value, repetitive tasks.
  • Future-Proof Flexibility
    The platform’s scalable design supports long-term innovation and business agility.
