Modernising Financial Reporting: Azure Migration and Agile Transformation
Challenge
A leading social housing provider faced significant challenges with their outdated financial reporting system. Their legacy platform suffered from performance bottlenecks and offered limited insights and visualisation capabilities. The system required numerous manual processes, impacting adherence to governance and risking business continuity due to lack of support.
SOLUTION
The core of our solution involved migrating the client's financial data and processes to Microsoft Azure. This cloud migration provided a scalable, supported platform for their financial operations. EIS team led the business-wide adoption of agile methodologies, implementing SCRUM practices through MS DevOps and WIKI boards. We provided personalised coaching and mentoring to ensure their team successfully transitioned to agile ways of working. This approach ensured alignment between technical solutions and business needs.
Our solution also focused on process optimisation. We developed an efficient data pipeline and archiving strategy, crucial for managing large volumes of financial data. We implemented automated reconciliation processes, significantly reducing manual work and improving data accuracy. To enhance data visualisation and analysis capabilities, we deployed Microsoft Power BI.
OUTCOME
Our project delivered significant improvements for the organisation. The Azure migration ensured business continuity and supported future growth. Automated reconciliation processes increased efficiency and accuracy in financial reporting. The finance team now has greater confidence in their data and delivers timely information consistently.
The new system reduced operational costs through streamlined processes. By adopting agile principles, the team improved project delivery and productivity. Lastly, advanced reporting tools now enable faster, more informed decision-making across the organisation.
