In 2021, together with the customer, Axians started a project at Medisch Spectrum Twente, a large hospital located in the east of The Netherlands.
The aim of the project was to replace a legacy Frankenstack of BI tooling (SAP Data Services, SAP Business Objects and others) with a future-proof cloud based dataplatform. Leveraging the power of the Axians Maestro Platform, based on Microsoft Azure, and of course TimeXtender, MST now has a comprehensive, modern Data Estate that is used by hundreds of employees.
Together with the customer, we have achieved the following goals:
- Training BI employees at the customer
- Build the complete Data Estate from the ground up using Azure, TimeXtender and PowerBI
- Much better and faster business insights (shorter time to market)
- Lower TCO
- Easy oversight and management of the entire solution
- Stable and well manageable data loads
TimeXtender was the absolute best match for this project because it was the only tool able to facilitate the entire data flow, from source system up until the semantic layer consumed by PowerBI in one tool. Technical challenges like extracting thousands of sometimes very large tables, a wide range of source systems like databases and SAAS-API's was all covered by TimeXtender!
