2023: Porting Business Intelligence Processes to Visiology

On February 7, 2023, Visiology announced that SberMegaMarket has completed the first stage of the migration project from Tableau analytical tools to the BI-platform Visiology. The transition to Russian software allowed the company not only to reduce the risks arising when working with foreign tools, but also to expand the possibilities of using visualizations and increase the number of users of analytics tools. All this sets the stage for the strategic development of business intelligence, data-driven decision-making and the implementation of the data-driven concept at all levels of company management.

According to the company, as of February 2023, constant data analysis is an integral part of the work of a large retail company, because without an operational reaction to a change in certain key indicators, it is difficult for managers to make timely decisions. To solve these problems, analysts process requests from the business and generate reports, and developers from the reporting development team are responsible for integrating the BI platform with the data warehouse, supporting and helping analysts work with the BI platform.

When changing the BI platform, it was necessary not only to build BI processes, but also to save all reporting for previous years and transfer it to the updated platform. After analysis, the choice was made in favor of the Visiology platform.

= told Roman Kovalev, Head of the Reporting Systems Development Group' There were a lot of requirements for BI, but among the key I would note the presence of real support and support from the vendor, flexible visualization capabilities, basic elements of self-service, connection to all corporate databases, as well as mailing to e-mail according to the specified parameters. In addition, we did not see the point of overpaying for the functionality we do not need, which has already been stitched into the BI system.}}

The process of migrating to Visiology began with a customer-tailored training program that Visiology experts conducted in two days. After that, a pilot project was launched with the purchase of 50 licenses. When the Platform showed that it met the requirements and expectations of functional customers, the number of licenses was expanded to 500, and the system was transferred to production.

A more detailed introduction to Visiology showed that the platform has the entire standard set of BI tools: filters to clearly identify a slice of data for analysis, drill-down mechanisms that allow you to fall deeper and study statistics, for example, with an accuracy of the day, not the week. The system provides interactive actions. In addition, in Visiology, we found other tools, for example, mailings for top managers to optimize access to data, as well as the ability to build a dashboard into any portal or application. noted Roman Kovalev

According to SberMegaMarket estimates, the Visiology platform for February 2023 allows you to solve all the company's tasks related to visualization and BI, and also creates the basis for the further development of analytics. The increase in the number of licenses by more than 40% compared to the previous platform opens up the opportunity to expand data-based decision-making practices, and the developer's licensing policy will allow SberMegaMarket to save on BI from the second year of use of the platform.
