In complex enterprise ecosystems, data can often become a double-edged sword. While organizations collect more data than ever before, transforming that data into clear, actionable insights remains a major challenge.
That’s where Ampersand steps in.
When an enterprise client needed support to elevate their data & analytics capabilities, we embedded one of our Senior Consultants into their team—helping to optimize processes, streamline reporting, and ultimately drive data-backed decisions that make a tangible difference.
Empowering Strategic Decisions Through Data
Rather than reinventing the wheel, our approach was about strengthening what was already in motion. Our team worked as part of a broader data & analytics team, identifying gaps, streamlining complex reporting structures, and introducing scalable enhancements that enabled smarter, faster decision-making.
Here’s what we helped the client achieve:
- Smarter Sales Forecasting & Prioritization
Through optimized tools, the client now makes more strategic sales decisions, backed by accurate, real-time data. - Consolidated & Consistent Reporting
We unified dashboards under a single data model, improving consistency, reducing redundancies, and simplifying long-term maintenance. This wasn’t just about cleaning up dashboards—it was about creating a single source of truth that stakeholders could trust. - Real-Time + Historical Insights for Future Planning
By building new data pipelines (including a web scraper for competitor and historical data), we helped unlock deeper trend analyses, empowering forward-thinking strategies rather than reactive ones. - Improved Data Integrity
Legacy systems often come with data inconsistencies. We transitioned availability data from JDE to Athenix, eliminating inaccuracies and giving stakeholders reliable data for critical decisions.
The Power of Strategic Data Augmentation
Staff augmentation isn’t just about adding headcount—it’s about bringing in the right expertise at the right time to amplify existing efforts. By embedding our consultant within the client’s team, we were able to:
- Introduce scalable data models that support long-term growth
- Improve the accuracy and reliability of critical sales data
- Boost user engagement, with over 90 daily users leveraging the Smart Pacing tool
- Provide strategic recommendations for future enhancements, like formalizing data modeling structures and implementing streamlined reporting request systems
