Visualization as a Service; 6Wk of Implementation

In the current scenario, organizations have access not only to an abundance of data but rather to an abundance of good-quality data. However, they still face challenges in garnering insights to drive their business decisions.
Tech Mahindra’s Data Visualization as a Service offering enables an enterprise to process large volumes of data in comprehensible and engaging forms, facilitating data and insight-driven decision-making.
Visualization as a Service (VaaS) framework refers to creating a unified schematic model on Azure Data Platform (Data Lake + Synapse analytics), combining different data silos by bringing in Azure data containers.
VaaS also offers industry-specific pre-defined dashboard templates for self-service analytics.
Using the VaaS framework, the time to create a dashboards/analytics layer reduces significantly (around 40%) as the unified schematic layer has all required KPIs and dashboard templates.

Business Challenges:

• Lack of dashboard templates:
  Everything needs to begin from scratch which involves a long time and high costs


• Uncontrollable environment:

• Lack of user-understandable information:
