From Haphazard to Organized: How Nosak Group Embraced Power BI for Data Integration and Improved Productivity 
																										
Customer Name: NOSAK Group
Industry: Multi-sector
Location/Country: Lagos, Nigeria 
Solution: Microsoft Power BI
Partner: Reliance Infosystems
Nosak Group is a Nigerian organization with industry-leading diversified interests. They provide vital solutions to the retail, agriculture, finance, logistics, real estate industries and more. Nosak Group has embarked on the digital transformation journey to accelerate their productivity. 
																										
The Business Challenges 
Nosak Group, as an organization with varied interests, generates tons of data. Managing multiple businesses can frequently result in complexities if solid structures that promote efficiency are missing. Nosak Group observed that they faced challenges with obtaining insights from their data. There were multiple data sources which led to repetitive work. The company also lacked a centralized database, making it difficult to obtain information pertaining to any subsidiary or the Group when required. There was also the obvious lack of business intelligence reporting tools that acted as a stumbling block in the event of an urgent visualization. 
A Paradigm Shift
It became apparent that an overhaul of the existing data methodologies was required. Nosak Group sought to find the right partner to spearhead their digital transformation quest. Their search revealed Reliance Infosystems as the team for the job. Our interaction with Nosak Group revealed Microsoft Power BI as the ideal solution. 
The Digital Reinvention 
Power BI distinguished itself as the Knight to lead Nosak Group into its much-desired next tier of internal organizational excellence. As a cloud hosted solution, it was based on some specific abilities:

Connection to multiple data sources: it no longer mattered which department in which subsidiary required certain information. Power BI received all data in their various formats and could process them effortlessly.
Centralized data: finally, datasets could be created from the multiple data sources accepted by Power BI, enabling the team to leverage this flexibility in report and visualization.
Unlock actionable insights: Nosak Group could explore Power BI to transform raw data into insights. With its variety of presentation modes, leaders could identify avenues for business growth.
Easy interface: the impact of Power BI could be felt across teams without complex technical knowledge as they could navigate Power BI themselves to obtain value.  
The Way Ahead
With a single solution like Power BI, many organizations can experience the surge of productivity, the reduced inefficiencies, the beauty of integration and the power of data-powered decision making that Nosak Group now revels in. Reliance Infosystems has partnered with Microsoft to propagate the power of digital transformation and support organizations seeking to embrace its endless benefits. The success of Nosak Group’s transformation emboldens Reliance Infosystems in our dedication to reinvent the world, one business at a time.

NMDPRA

Accepted Answer

Customer Stories
NMDPRA Wins as Microsoft Azure Transforms Organizational Processes for Resource Optimization 
																										
Customer Name: NMDPRA
Industry: Petroleum Industry
Location/Country: Lagos, Nigeria 
Solution: Microsoft Azure
Partner: Reliance Infosystems
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), also known informally as “The Authority” is a combination of three defunct regulatory bodies. The Authority supports the Nigerian petroleum industry with legal, governance, regulatory, and fiscal framework to encourage investment and petroleum output for the nation’s economic growth. To effectively run a parastatal of such impact and size, it was important that solutions that promoted the organization were deployed.  
																										
The Experienced Challenges 
With the responsibility of supporting the Nigerian petroleum industry, The Authority grappled with an outdated and inefficient IT infrastructure. It prevented them from collecting and analyzing data to support their regulatory functions. Each department required functioning technology to enable them to deliver optimal results. There also existed the challenge of lurking cyberattacks. The suboptimal IT infrastructure made The Authority a sitting duck for cybercrimes. There had to be a system to prevent a disruption and the likely loss of sensitive data. 
Turning the Tide 
To compound the existing challenges, there was the urgent need to comply with the new Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) and operate with reduced IT costs while working within the limited budget provided to The Authority. Conscious of these limitations, the Authority needed an organization that could provide the most suitable solution within the available time and at a reasonable cost. After consultation with the experts of Reliance Infosystems, Microsoft Azure, a leading cloud computing platform, was chosen.   
Welcoming Transformation 
Microsoft Azure can be viewed as a panacea for digital transformation troubles. Its services include data storage, analytics, computing, and networking. Its capabilities have been proven to improve efficiency and productivity in several organizations. For The Authority, Microsoft Azure helped in these ways:

Scalability and flexibility: the ever-evolving needs of The Authority were matched by Azure’s seamless scalability. The Authority could expand and descale its infrastructure as required, preventing a workload crash. During downtimes, it could save on IT costs.
Advanced Security: Microsoft Azure comes with a robust security configuration sufficient to meet the needs of The Authority. Features like encryption, firewalls, conditional access, and more were able to protect the sensitive information of the parastatal from being accessible by individuals with malicious intent.
Affordability: with a large organization, IT infrastructure can be costly, but Azure makes it easier for The Authority to provide its services without worrying about the budget. It uses a pay-per-consumption model; hence the cost matches the workload per time.
Compliance and analytics: the compliance features of Azure helped The Authority to achieve the requirements of the Petroleum Industry Act. Its analytical abilities also helped to store, collect, and analyze data. The analytics provided insightful information for regulatory activities. 
A New Horizon 
Armed with Microsoft Azure, the Authority can now execute its duties seamlessly. Azure’s security enables NMDPRA to secure the interests of its customers and investors. Its data collection and processing compartments enable the Authority to keep accurate track of revenue. The parastatal can now promote efficiency in its departments, regulate activities of the sector and ensure the overall health of the petroleum industry. This collaboration with Reliance Infosystems shows again how efficiency and effectiveness is achieved with technology.

MRI Botswana

Accepted Answer

Customer Stories
How MRI Botswana Revolutionized Patient Care in Botswana 
																										
Customer Name: MRI Botswana
Industry: Health Service
Location/Country: Botswana
Solution: Microsoft Azure
Partner: Reliance Infosystems
Initiating a medical rescue business that grew to include multiple outpatient services such as radiology, MRI Botswana is currently an industry leader in the provision of healthcare services and other healthcare solutions. As a prominent healthcare organization, MRI Botswana is responsible for the lives and safety of thousands of individuals within and without Botswana. Their services include medical rescue and operational health clinics, and they provide tailored products for nursing mothers. There is also an assortment of mobility products.  
With a huge reliance on technology for smooth operations, MRI Botswana realized that some improvement in their technological capabilities was welcome to achieve better results. 
																										
The Stumbling Block 
MRI Botswana expectedly had multiple departments within the organization. The primary challenge was a clear discrepancy in integration. The departments all utilized different systems and had independent databases. The lack of integration across departments caused challenges with sync. Unfortunately, patients also suffered from this situation as their data had to be re-entered at every point. Incidents such as these reduce patients’ perception of satisfaction and also increase repetitive tasks for staff. 
Turning the Tide 
MRI Botswana required the expertise of an industry leader to support the obvious need for integration. Upon consultation with Reliance Infosystems, the team of experts decided on a suitable Microsoft-based solution. After deliberations, Power BI was found to make the best match for the demands of MRI Botswana. 
The Leap of Transformation 
MRI Botswana demanded an extensive IT upgrade of which Power BI was an integral part. Power BI is a comprehensive tool that enables organizations to collect, analyze, and visualize their data. Its abilities provide insights into business performance, identifying areas for growth or improvement. With the inclusion of Power BI in their IT infrastructure, MRI Botswana was able to elevate their decision-making capabilities and achieve an integrated organization. Some of the leaps made were:

Comprehensive data analysis: Power BI was able to help the healthcare industry leader to analyze their data across multiple sources and types 10x faster than before. It eliminated the arduous manual data collection and analysis, saving time and enhancing accuracy.
Extensive reporting: the analyzed data can be displayed in engaging and visually appealing formats that can be presented in reports across document types. Power BI reduced the dependency on static and outdated reports. The interactive reports from Power BI are always up to date.
Extraction of actionable insights: beyond data analysis, the staff could observe trends and patterns that can be leveraged to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. Where previously, management made decisions based on instincts, decisions are now made based on data and evidence 80% of the time.
Quantifiable research: Power BI helped the organization to record leaps in internal research such as clinic trials, drug testing, and alternative procedures, to provide better tailored care and attention to patients. It simplified the research process and generated accurate results. 
Emerging Possibilities
The new IT infrastructure, inclusive of Power BI, revolutionized patient care in Botswana, making MRI Botswana the preferred option. Trained to use this technology, staff and management can make strategic decisions that greatly advance patient care in all centers in Botswana. The organization now enjoys increased efficiency, higher patient satisfaction, and increased security of patient information. Reliance Infosystems was instrumental to unlocking new possibilities in healthcare in Botswana.

Operational Harmony, Integration Mastery
