Your business has access to more data than ever from an ever-increasing range of disparate sources. But just having visibility of the numbers is not enough if you’re looking to become a truly data-driven business. To make better-informed decisions based on business intelligence (BI) derived from your Big Data, your data analysts need to understand:
- What the data that they are looking at is
- Exactly what it means for your business
Data dashboards are designed to transform your streams of raw numbers into compelling visual representations. This will put your data into perspective and make it meaningful for everyone, regardless of whether they are a data analyst, a customer support specialist, or a C-level executive.

Visualising information using graphs, charts and other formats is not a new concept. For instance, maps have been around for at least ten thousand years. In 1569, the Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator’s world map was a major development in terms of visualising the surface of the spherical Earth on a flat piece of paper. Data visualisation makes information easier to comprehend and will provide your business with actionable insights.
Human beings are very visually-minded. By translating your data into visualizations, which is an essential aspect of effective Data Architecture, you can quickly and simply understand more about your business and customers. The more you optimise your data, the more you know and the more successful your organisation can be. You can ask better and more targeted questions, develop more effective strategies and make decisions that achieve the results you’re looking for. In addition, you can accomplish all this in less time than it would take to sift through your data in its raw form.
Feed Your Data Dashboard with Powerful Data Pipelines
A Data pipeline comprises a series of actions and technologies that will route your raw data from a source to a destination. Often referred to as data connectors, data pipelines enable you to centralise data from disparate sources into one place, so your data is aggregated for more effective data analysis. Then you are all set to create powerful BI visualisations on consolidated dashboards, for a more robust view of your customers and your business.
Data intelligence solutions transforming the insurance industry through data pipelines. A data pipeline will also help you to ensure consistent data quality across the enterprise, which is critical for reliable business intelligence. You could recruit a Data Engineer to build your pipelines by writing code and manually interfacing with source applications and databases but people with Data Engineering skills are scarce, making them expensive. In many companies, they are tasked with building and maintaining data pipelines to extract, transform and load (ETL) data. However, even dedicated ETL tools need high-value staff for maintenance and configuration, which can drain the time and skills of Data Engineers.
Visualise Your Data in One Place to Make Better-Informed Decisions
Many enterprises across many industries are reaching out to Dufrain’s team of dedicated Data Engineers, rather than employing someone full-time to build their data pipelines and BI dashboards.
