Overview

A Fortune 100 bank sought to democratize data analytics across their global organization by deploying Power BI to over 10,000 analysts. The initiative required enterprise-grade governance, SOC 2 compliance, and integration with their existing data warehouse infrastructure.

The Challenge

The financial institution faced complex requirements typical of large-scale enterprise BI deployments:

  • Legacy reporting tools scattered across 50+ business units
  • Strict SOC 2 and financial regulatory compliance requirements
  • Complex data security with row-level and object-level permissions
  • Integration with Teradata, SQL Server, and Snowflake data sources
  • Need for consistent metrics definitions across the organization
  • Resistance to change from power users of existing tools
