The ITRex team dug deep into the customer's business needs and assessed its existing technology infrastructure and
AI readiness. Based on our findings, we proposed redesigning the client's data and analytics infrastructure and migrating their
data warehouse and business intelligence tools to a Microsoft Azure cloud platform. This approach would ensure long-term scalability, reduce processing bottlenecks, and allow for advanced and self-service
data analytics as well as
integrated AI services. After the client approved the technical vision, the solution was implemented as a platform as a service (PaaS). ITRex’s key activities included:
●
Data storage modernization. ITRex replaced on-premises databases with Azure Data Lake Storage and Azure SQL Data Warehouse, enabling scalable data ingestion, storage, and high-performance querying.
●
ETL pipeline overhaul. We used Azure Data Factory to manage ingestion pipelines and Azure Databricks to transform raw data into clean, standardized, and actionable datasets.
●
BI and reporting enhancement. Our data analytics specialists migrated the existing workloads to Azure Analysis Services, allowing for fast, real-time insights delivered via Power BI dashboards.
●
Application modernization. The ITRex team ported the client's custom application for BI maintenance to Azure App Service and implemented Azure SQL Database for data storage.
●
AI-powered insights. We integrated the PaaS solution with Azure AI Services to enhance the customers’ data analysis capabilities with predictive
machine learning models while democratizing access to insights for non-technical employees.
With the new system, the FMCG company increased productivity, improved software maintainability, and laid the groundwork for future AI and automation initiatives.
