From Data Overload to Strategic Gold: A Professional Services Transformation Story

One of the world’s leading diversified professional services organizations faced a pressing challenge: their data environment wasn’t keeping up with their growing business needs. Specializing in high-value workforce solutions and consulting services for Fortune 500 companies, their leadership team sought a more sophisticated system to unlock actionable insights, streamline reporting, and enable self-service analytics—all without overburdening IT resources. 

The reality was clear. Disparate data sources and a fragmented legacy environment were causing inefficiencies, reporting errors, and delays. These barriers impacted the accuracy of insights and slowed critical decision-making processes. 

Building a Scalable Foundation for Data-Driven Decisions 

Launch partnered with the client to unify their data environment and establish a robust, scalable system prioritizing efficiency and reliability. Our team created a secure, scalable infrastructure featuring governed access control, alerting, and resource monitoring by centralizing assets and developing best-practice data patterns and pipelines. 

A critical component of the transformation was the construction of a CI/CD pipeline. This automated data object deployment across development, QA, and production environments ensures a seamless flow of clean, reliable data. Leveraging Azure Data Factory, we optimized data ingestion from sources like Bullhorn and Workday, creating a scalable process that ensured the client’s data was always accurate and ready for use. 

The new architecture introduced layered data processing, ensuring scalability and accuracy while laying the groundwork for reliable, enterprise-wide analytics. 

Empowering Users with Self-Service Analytics 

With the data environment streamlined, Launch implemented a Power BI architecture that enabled users across the organization to access insights independently while balancing user capabilities and governance. Power users and data analysts were empowered to generate consistent, trusted reporting and analytics without heavy reliance on IT by introducing a scalable, secure, and optimized data model. This shift empowered teams to access up-to-date insights on demand, improving speed and accuracy. 

Launch collaborated with the client to define a KPI standardization framework to eliminate reporting discrepancies. This approach ensured consistency across teams, establishing a single source of truth for reporting and analytics. With alignment on key metrics, the organization now benefits from clear, dependable insights that drive unified, data-driven decisions. 

From Insights to Action: A Unified Data Ecosystem 

Launch transformed a fragmented, inconsistent data system into a unified, scalable platform. With a modernized Snowflake environment and self-service Power BI analytics capabilities, teams are now equipped to make fast, informed decisions and have shifted from reactive reporting to proactive and strategic planning, setting the stage for sustained success.
