Creating a Single Source of Truth for Consumer Insights

Unknown

**Challenge** A major Fortune 100 media company, despite its status as one of the largest media and communications groups in the U.S., struggled to accurately track the daily number of user subscriptions. Additionally, they faced difficulties in correlating their subscriber base with actual product usage. This lack of data hindered their ability to understand their audience and how they engaged with their products, limiting their consumer insights. **Solution** To gather the necessary data for consumer insights, MRE first developed a single source of truth (SSOT) system. With a reliable database of subscriber information and product usage in place, MRE linked these two data sets to analyze the connection between individual users and their specific product interactions. An executive dashboard was also created to enhance data engagement by presenting real-time metrics in an easy-to-understand format. This dashboard visualized the subscriber base by region, including information on: - Product Usage - Subscriber count - Revenue - Business Support **Implemented Technologies** - SQL Server Analysis Services - AWS - AWS Redshift - QlikView **Results** The new insights led to improved data quality, revealing that the company actually had a higher subscriber count than previously thought. With accurate subscription numbers, the company was able to increase advertising rates and boost revenue. The dashboards enabled business users to monitor live metrics and track progress in real time. MRE also offered training on how to easily generate ad-hoc reports. **Benefits:** - A comprehensive system of record as a single source of truth - Accurate and unified reporting structure - Real-time dashboard metrics for executives and decision-makers - Standardized and reproducible data formats - Enhanced data quality through OLAP analytics

Powering Enterprise Growth through Commodity Trading and Quoting

Unknown

**Challenge** A major natural gas supplier recently undertook several acquisitions and employed MRE to create a cohesive solution aimed at optimizing its systems and processes while enhancing the customer experience to lower total ownership costs. The increase in customers, suppliers, locations, and transactions heightened the necessity to simplify and standardize operations. The company relied on multiple system platforms to run its business, which complicated and inflated costs associated with data analysis, transactions, and reporting for both customers and employees. **Solution** The proposed solution involved implementing an enterprise Energy Trade Risk Management (ETRM) system for commodity trading, a tailored Salesforce (CRM) solution for real-time quoting, and a web-based Salesforce portal to boost customer engagement. **Key Points:** - Integrated Salesforce with Endur to enable quoting with real-time commodity pricing. - Streamlined business processes through system consolidation and automated pricing. - Developed a utilities-specific quoting solution utilizing Salesforce’s customizable and declarative Lightning development features (Utilities CPQ). - Provided real-time quote pricing during the sales process, incorporating factors like basis price, weather, pipeline capacity, and other external market influences. - Proactively managed contract renewals. **Implemented Technologies:** - Salesforce Custom Platform Quoting Solution - Salesforce Sales Cloud & Lightning - MuleSoft - Endur **Results** The new solution enhanced performance and reliability by transitioning to a stable platform and infrastructure, supporting financial goals through: - Greater efficiency and accuracy in business processes due to consolidation. - Integrated management of positions, exposure reporting, and settlement processing. - Decreased manual reconciliation efforts, minimizing the risk of payment imbalances, penalties, and excess charges. - Facilitated the retirement of the legacy ETRM system, enabling business users to function on a unified platform.
