Frequently asked questions
What is system consolidation and when do we need it?
System consolidation is the process of auditing your analytics and data environment, retiring redundant tools and reports, migrating legacy content to modern platforms, and establishing a governance model that prevents future sprawl. You need it when your BI environment has grown organically and nobody knows which reports are authoritative.
Do you recommend platform replacements?
Rarely. In most cases, the problem is not the platform, it is the volume of redundant content, the lack of governance, and the absence of a certified data layer underneath. We fix those first. Platform replacement is only recommended when the current platform is actually inadequate for the organization's needs.
What legacy systems can you migrate from?
We have migrated from Crystal Reports, SSRS, Cognos, MicroStrategy, Business Objects, and various custom-built reporting systems to Tableau and Power BI. We also rationalize mixed Tableau and Power BI environments where both tools have grown independently.
How do you handle reports that nobody knows who owns?
We start with a usage audit that identifies which reports are actually being used and by whom. Reports with no usage in the past 90 days are candidates for retirement. For reports with active usage, we identify the business owner and establish a formal ownership model before migration.
