Streamline Your BI Infrastructure With Databricks AI/BI and Save Millions on Traditional BI Tools

Earlier this year, we finished migration of all dashboards from a traditional BI system to Databricks AI/BI ecosystem, resulting in annual savings of approximately $900,000. We also unlocked the below advantages:

1.  Data security, integrity and safety
2.  Cost savings
3.  Single source of truth
4.  Real-time data
5.  Genie space

 We will speak about our journey and how you can migrate your dashboards from traditional BI to AI/BI. Having listed the advantages above, we will also speak of some challenges faced.

Migration steps:

1.  Analytical scope of dashboard inventory
2.  Feature mapping: From traditional BI to AI/BI
3.  Building bronze, silver and gold tables
4.  Building dashboards

 Migration shenanigans:

1.  Hypercare phase
2.  Change management 
3.  KT documents
4.  Demo sessions
5.  Deprecation of licenses and dashboards on traditional BI tools

 We look forward to sharing these lessons learned and insights with you to help you streamline your BI infrastructure and unlock the full potential of Databricks AI/BI.
