The Challenge

A global 125-year-old safety certification company with operations in over 40 countries faced growing inefficiencies in its analytics ecosystem. With over 60 on-prem Analysis Services tabular models and no centralized architecture, data sprawl led to strained IT-business relations and inconsistent insights. The business demanded a shift toward self-service analytics and a unified, performance-driven data model to support enterprise-wide decision-making.

By unifying 26+ data sources into a single tabular model, Launch transformed analytics from fragmented to focused—unlocking deeper insights and faster decisions.

The Solution

Launch leveraged an iterative development approach to assess, design, and implement a scalable and centralized data model. We began by identifying architectural gaps and gathering requirements from key business stakeholders. A prioritized backlog guided development, culminating in the creation of a consolidated tabular model supported by a robust semantic layer and security framework. Launch also enabled a new intake process and trained internal developers on best practices for scalable, insight-driven analytics

The Results

The organization now operates with a unified source of truth for analytics. The new centralized data model enabled the client to modernize analytics operations, streamline governance, and improve user experience across the enterprise. Key outcomes included:

  • Centralized access to data previously spread across 26 sources
  • Decommissioned redundant dashboards and reports
  • Implemented row-level security for greater control and governance
  • Increased developer and business user adoption through training and enablement
  • Improved analytics intake process focused on actionable insights
  • Enhanced storage efficiency and system performance
  • Shifted IT’s role from dashboard maintenance to strategic enablement

With a scalable, centralized analytics model in place, the client is better equipped to drive data-informed decisions across the enterprise, reduce IT strain, and scale future analytics initiatives with confidence.
