DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
The third pillar of transformation is focused on information management and Peter Turnbull is sponsoring this initiative across the Broadcast Australia and UK businesses .
“ Many of the challenges we ( and other organisations ) face stem from a data or an information issue , be it poor quality or unknown data or poor practices for governing , exchanging and consuming information .” This pillar , which is still a work in progress , “ is the fabric that joins together our business capabilities as it provides a way to build a common language we all speak ,” says Turnbull . “ We have focused our strategy around the management , integration and availability of structured , unstructured and spatial data ( location-based data for the design and run of our sites which includes drawings , maps and photos ).”
One of the first solutions introduced was a data warehouse hosted in Azure . The solution , implemented by Altis , provided a way to integrate data from systems of record , as well as data from other internal and external API ’ s using the Azure Data Factory .
“ We now bring together large volumes of data , from multiple sources , and make them available to our teams to consume or use in their technology solutions and business processes . When we need additional internal or external data , we use established pipelines to quickly make this data available ,” says Turnbull .
Altis also helped with the implementation of a new reporting and analytics platform using PowerBI . The combination of the new data warehouse and PowerBI provided a modern solution to report upon ( and share with customers through the PowerBI portal ) the performance of Digital Television ( DTV ) services at all Broadcast Australia tower sites .
A CULTURE OF CHANGE The fourth pillar which has been enabled by the first three , is the progressive transformation of business capabilities .
