Business Problem: Cumbersome and Outdated Business Workflow Application
1. Collective Bargaining System (CBS) built over Excel and Access needed to be constantly patched with new Microsoft updates.
2. As CBS can be updated once in a year, most data that it serves was outdated.
3. Accessing data out of CBS was a complex and cumbersome process with multiple spreadsheet, and a legacy mainframe in the backend.
4. A busy internal programming team did not have the bandwidth to tackle a new development project.
Our Solution: Modernize the CBS with Azure Cloud Power BI
1. Motifworks helped PSEA modernize legacy applications by developing a cloud-based solution using Microsoft Azure technologies and Power BI.
2. Migrated the CBS and the other related modules, such as the Health Care Module, into a single application.
3. Designed a custom interface to securely connect to mainframe data.
4. After delivering Power BI consulting services, PSEA’s modernized application was rudimentarily ready to perform sophisticated analytics.
Technology:
- Azure App Service
- Power BI Premium
- Azure SQL Database
- AngularJS
- ASP.NET, C#
- Data Gateway
The End Result: Cloud Modernized Application, Streamlined Workflow and Connected Data
1. Improved access to up to date data allows PSEA to bargain contracts with the fairest possible compensation for members.
2. Following PSEA’s decision to modernize legacy applications, now their web-based application provides anytime, anywhere access to local associations preparing to begin the collective bargaining process.
3. Improved visualization and reporting capability enables stakeholders to create cross-module reports for deeper analysis and negotiation tactics.
