Around 100 employees have switched from Excel to Power BI within the first few months. Data is processed faster, impacting all analytical teams in the company and allowing Hochland to implement easy-to-use self-serve business intelligence across the company.
ITMAGINATION's cross-functional team delivered 6 new, complex Power BI reports for different business areas. A big part of the delivery was successfully integrating 26 data sources in various formats (Excel, CSV, database) into one standardized data model.

Hochland was looking for a Technology Partner that would develop their current data models, database solutions, and implement Business Intelligence systems for them using Power BI.

Hochland was looking for a partner who would not only perform a specific service, but a partner who would act as a Technology Advisory provider who would also support their team significantly and proactively by proposing the best solutions in areas that are new to them.
We implemented a solution based on Microsoft SQL Server. An extensive and easily scalable data model created in Azure Analysis Services provides the client with the ability to perform ad-hoc analysis using various analytical tools as well as creating new reports easily in Power BI.
Thanks to the implementation of the project using the Scrum framework, we ensured that its result fully met the client's expectations, which were consulted on an ongoing basis and adjusted to business requirements.
ITMAGINATION was invited to participate in the RFP process which they won after showing that they clearly understand our needs, have top-notch expertise both in our sector (FMCG), as well as the technologies used (BI and Data Warehousing) and their pricing model is optimal.
They had a very persuasive way of communicating proposed solutions.
