DATA & POWER BI GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK FOR AB MAURI
AB Mauri, a global leader in yeast and bakery ingredient products, recognized the need for a modern data and Power BI governance platform to meet evolving reporting and dashboarding needs while ensuring compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory requirements. Valorem Reply stepped in as a strategic partner, working side by side with AB Mauri to craft a robust Power BI governance strategy and modernize their reporting platform. Through a focused three-month engagement, we addressed critical components such as reviewing their current workspace architecture, authentication and authorization processes, and ultimately establishing a governance framework. This collaborative effort resulted in an optimized Power BI environment and laid the foundation for an ongoing data governance program. AB Mauri can now make critical business decisions with confidence and gain key insights seamlessly.
Our goal with this data modernization project was to provide AB Mauri with the right data, at the right time, and in the right format to enable the business to deliver critical business decisions and provide key insights. We are proud to have played a pivotal role in AB Mauri's journey, helping them reach this point of enhanced data capabilities and setting the stage for their long-term success.
