The Idea 11 Data & Analytics Accelerator

The Databricks Lakehouse solution unifies the best of data warehouses and data lakes in a single platform to handle data and analytics use cases. This platform is used to ingest, transform and enrich data into a format ready for data analysis and reporting.

Microsoft Power BI is a class-leading interactive data visualisation tool used to create reports and dashboards from the Data Lakehouse. Power BI allows staff to visualise and discover what’s important and share insights across the organisation.
