The approach
Niels Zeilemaker, chief of technology at Xebia Data and AI began the collaboration with Bynco by implementing a data accelerator, deployed by Xebia Solutions. By making use of ready-made templates written in Terraform (infrastructure as a code) and CI/CD pipelines, this infrastructure could be deployed rapidly in the Azure Cloud. The templates were modified to adhere to the client’s requirements, including naming conventions, security requirements, and data governance requirements. The focus was on extracting all relevant data, transforming it into usable insights, and loading it into the visualization tools. The defined use cases focused mainly on finance and operations, resulting in the connection of both Exact Online as well as the operational database from Bynco to the data warehouse.
Jovan Gligorevic, an analytics engineer at Xebia, worked closely with Bynco to execute the defined use cases. They built data models in Power BI that calculated the KPIs and metrics and visualized them in (near) real-time dashboards.
The outcome
According to Bynco COO Companjen, the new data platform, and the subsequent use case execution resulted in faster, easier, better, data-driven decision-making. Relevant insights are now shared on big screens throughout the office, visible to all employees, bringing more awareness of the current status.
By bringing data and insights closer to the business, Bynco now provides a perfect example of data democratization.
Bram Ochsendorf, lead data scientist at Xebia said, “Data democratization increases the usage of data assets, uncovers new opportunities with data, and improves existing data operations. All this expedites decision making and facilitates the creation of business value.”
