Data Analysis & Data Analytics Consulting for Energy Operators
A major North American energy infrastructure operator wanted to modernize how teams accessed and used operational and regulatory data. With assets spread across multiple regions, the organization relies on accurate, timely insight to maintain safe operations, meet regulatory obligations, and support daily decision-making.
The Challenge: Legacy Reporting and Fragmented Data Systems
Why Modern Data Analysis Matters for Organizations
Despite deep internal expertise, the company’s reporting environment had become difficult to manage and costly to maintain. Key issues included legacy reporting tools that required significant manual effort and expensive support, critical operational data living in disconnected weather, engineering, and equipment systems, resource-heavy regulatory reporting cycles driven by fragmented processes, and limited user trust in reports due to outdated, incomplete, or hard-to-navigate information. The organization needed a modern, governed data platform to make data accessible to operators, leaders, and analysts—without relying on manual workarounds.
The Solution: A Modern Analytics Ecosystem Built on Microsoft Fabric
How Data Analytics Consulting Transformed Reporting
The company partnered with Iteration Insights, a Calgary-based data analytics consulting firm, to redesign and modernize its reporting ecosystem using Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. Over a multi-year engagement, Iteration Insights worked closely with internal teams to deliver a scalable, governed solution.
Unify and Govern Data
Iteration Insights consolidated operational and regulatory data sources to reduce fragmentation and introduced governance practices that improved data quality and long-term maintainability.
Automate Data Ingestion & Processing
The team automated ingestion of weather, engineering, and operational data that previously required manual collection and built dependable, repeatable pipelines inside Microsoft Fabric to ensure trusted, analytics-ready data for Power BI reporting.
Redesign Reporting for Usability
Iteration Insights developed intuitive, operator-friendly Power BI dashboards focused on the most important metrics and enabled daily, exportable reporting so teams always had fresh information without manual refresh cycles.
Supporting Regulatory Standards Through Automation
The team implemented automated alerts to signal when internal procedure documents needed updates and streamlined tasks tied to compliance cycles, improving accuracy and timeliness.
Enablement-Focused Data Analytics Consulting
Iteration Insights prioritized coaching and enablement so that internal teams could confidently manage, expand, and evolve the environment going forward.
The Outcome: A More Intelligent, Efficient, and Trusted Data Environment
With a unified data platform and modern reporting structure, the organization achieved greater operational efficiency as automated pipelines replaced manual processes, stronger regulatory reporting with more consistent and less time-intensive submissions, better daily operator visibility with timely metrics, improved data governance that increased stakeholder confidence, and higher adoption of Power BI reporting due to easier navigation and exportability.
Scalable Data Analytics Solutions for Alberta Energy Companies
Through partnership and enablement, the organization transitioned from manual, fragmented reporting to a unified analytics environment built on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. This modern foundation empowers operators, enhances insight quality, and supports ongoing modernization and operational excellence across Alberta’s energy landscape.
