Success Stories

In 2023 a group of waste disposal/recycling companies looked for a way to expand their reporting capabilities. Different options where evaluated and after settling for Power BI as their new reporting tool, they decided to also build a datawarehouse. The subsidiaries (<15) where almost all using the same ERP and accounting systems, all based on MS SQL databases. IT resources where scarce and it was clear from the beginning, that the main developer would be the Head of Controlling of the group. The main other option that was considerd was the use of open source software. That would mainly save on the licensing cost but would also give full transparency on the tool. On the other hand it would be hard to get "vendor" support for the productive systems. It was also questioned how future prove an open source solution would be, and how easy and quick one could get a fix if potential security problem arose in the code. Two main advantages of TimeXTender made the difference in the end: The low-

As a consultant at E-mergo, I was tasked with advising GGD Drenthe on their data warehousing strategy. The GGD (Municipal Health Services) is a public health service who was facing challenges in managing and analyzing a growing volume of data from various sources. Their existing solution, heavily reliant on Qlik Sense, lacked the flexibility and scalability required for future growth. I recommended implementing TimeXtender as a robust and efficient data warehousing solution. This would allow them to: Centralize Data: Consolidate data from diverse sources into a single, unified repository. Improve Data Quality: Implement robust data quality checks and data cleansing processes. Enhance Data Accessibility: Make data readily available to various applications and users. Accelerate Data Analysis: Streamline data integration and transformation processes. I provided guidance on data modeling, ETL development, and best practices for data management. I also trained the GGD Drenthe team on how to

Vodafone Iceland has been using TimeXtender Data Quality and TimeXtender Orchestration (formerly known as ExMon Data Governance) since 2010, continuously monitoring their data and services with an emphasis on customer happiness, revenue leakage and fraud monitoring. Recently a case study of Vodafone usage of TimeXtender Data Quality and TimeXtender Orchestration and its results was published in Audit Analytics and Continuous Audit, an American university textbook in Continuous Auditing by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. You can read all about Vodafone’s usage of TimeXtender Data Quality and TimeXtender Orchestration here: Vodafone Case Study We recommend reading the full book which can be downloaded for free at the AICPA website: Continuous Assurance & Continuous Control Monitoring

In 2022, Waternet, a large water organization in the Netherlands, sought a new way to manage their data warehouse and phase out DDM Studio. Their goal was to improve the speed of building data models, connecting to their sources, and maintaining ease of use while keeping costs low. They also wanted a solution that was future-proof, with the capability to migrate to SaaS after rebuilding the old data warehouse. Already using the Azure data platform, they needed tools compatible with this platform. Wortell Smart, together with Waternet, concluded that TimeXtender was the best option for their needs. Since implementing TimeXtender at Waternet, we have achieved significant results: Trained 12 people in TimeXtender, enabling everyone to take over each other’s work instead of only three people building everything on the ETL side. Maintained their data platform with more ease. Experienced fewer scheduling issues. Delivered new requests to the business in days or weeks instead of months. Incre

Air Atlanta, Icelandic, is one of the largest ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance) service providers in the world with almost 20 planes and 1400 employees. They offer tailor-made solutions to other carriers, both in the passenger and cargo industry. The Challenge Like others in this industry, Air Atlanta must ensure that the aircraft is fully utilized and every extra hour of AOG (aircraft on the ground) is expensive. Sigrún Inga Kristinsdóttir, Administrator of Trax MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) system, explains: “When we remove parts from aircraft and send them for repair, too often they would be registered incorrectly in our systems. When the serviceable part was needed again, we wouldn’t know its status, causing unnecessary delays and costs. The key to solving these issues was better data quality. So, we decided to implement TimeXtender Orchestration and Data Quality.” The Solution Our main goal was to decrease costs resulting from bad data in our Trax mainten

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, fr
