one-stop-shop for all of the company’s marketing data and analytics needs, including Microsoft Power BI-based dashboards, web analytics and social listening.

Avanade’s integrated

digital marketing

strategy drives a 66%

lead conversion rate

3

Challenge

Avanade's plan was to improve the client experience. In order to track and manage leads effectively, Avanade also needed a better reporting system.

It first needed to move away from multiple ad hoc, manually executed marketing campaigns in favor of fewer, more robust campaigns with a more

centralized management approach.

To effectively track and manage leads, Avanade also needed a better reporting system. Achieving these goals would require a new strategy, tools, technology and processes.

Results

Avanade’s new marketing approach

provides both qualitative and quantitative benefits:

• 53% reduction in end-to-end manual processes and content loading

• 28% increase in marketing-qualified

leads generated via the company

website’s “Contact Us” page

• 66% conversion rate of marketingqualified leads to sales-accepted leads

• 300% increase in sales influenced from

client interactions on Avanade’s

website

Solution

DNV GL embraced the opportunity to empower workers and develop a datadriven culture — in a safe, governed and compliant way. Partnering with Avanade, they received a full report and a roadmap for creating a governance model, with detailed recommendations. The solution helped DNV GL establish the guidelines on how to scale, work and develop for Power BI, while ensuring it was secure and user friendly.

DNV GL boosts factbased decision making

for employees and

customers

4

Challenge

When non-technical employees across DNV GL started to use on-demand, software-as-a-service visualization tools

such as Microsoft’s Power BI, a challenge

emerged. The tool was bringing more data insights to more people and enabling better decision making. But there was no complete governance

solution in place to prevent undue risk.

Results

DNV GL has improved its ability to

support fact-based decision making, in a

way that won’t expose the company to

unnecessary risk. The client also says the solution will drive productivity and improve customer experiences and services. Notably, they are now able to

give customers more useful insights and

add value by embedding Power BI reports into specific applications, platforms and customer presentations.

Solution

Avanade implemented a company-wide rollout of ERP on Microsoft Dynamics at all of OKQ8's 550 stations. The project began with an end-to-end process mapping that took a holistic approach and created a jointly documented and detailed working method for each unique process in the extensive business. The implementation phase consisted of planning, analysis, design, development and testing. Avanade's local presence with global reach played a major role in the success of this project.

OKQ8 employees get

modern tools, insight to adapt to digital future

5

Challenge

OKQ8 had multiple disparate business

systems across Denmark and Sweden. The

company decided to introduce a unified business system and to create a platform to standardize business processes.

They wanted to create a unified ERP platform for all of its Scandinavian business, enabling IT to add-on services, speed operations and adapt to an everchanging digital future.

Results

The project gave OKQ8 the opportunity to

penetrate all processes internally and to

establish a modern technology platform that laid the foundation for working seamlessly between the business and IT departments. For example, there is now an opportunity to link the ERP platform with Microsoft Power BI

and the company’s existing CRM solution

from Microsoft.

Solution

By replacing Pattern Energy’s heavily

customized AX solution, we eliminated the

need to manage costly infrastructure and automated many processes to reduce the number of applications employees needed to do business. Power BI apps simplified the transformation, enabling the company to achieve modernization without increasing its IT expertise and resources. A master data synchronization tool helped address the functionality gaps of the D365 platform as well as support data maintenance across 400 legal entities.

the value of a

modern, web-based ERP system

6

Challenge

Facing rapid growth, Pattern Energy's legacy on-premise ERP system became

costly and difficult to manage. Without

the necessary resources to manage operations, employees depended on manual processes, including spreadsheets and siloed emails, to complete basic administrative tasks.

This delayed the regulatory reporting

process and risked accounting errors.

Results

By leveraging new technologies, Pattern

Energy has redefined its ERP landscape and empowered employees to work more efficiently, allowing them to focus on productivity and higher value activities. It achieved 75% more efficiency with its project invoice proposal process, saving significant time and money in its billing operations.

Solution

RINA is continuing its journey toward innovation by migrating to the cloud and adopting Dynamics 365 for finance and operations and customer engagement.

Avanade helped RINA during the project development stage and is now supporting it in the deployment phase, ensuring a smooth transition and safeguarding previous customizations and investments.

RINA drives for efficiency with Microsoft Dynamics 365 cloud platform

7

Challenge

With more than 3,800 professionals

operating in 200 offices in 70 countries,

RINA steers businesses toward excellence by offering a wide range of services to meet the needs of the energy, marine, certification, transport and infrastructure and industry sectors.

To keep pace with a changing world, it

launched a comprehensive digital transformation project that focuses on

Microsoft’s three cloud platforms: Azure,

Office 365 and Dynamics 365.

Results

The cloud encourages growth, offering RINA maximum flexibility and scalability as well as a reliable tool that complies with the latest security and privacy regulations. By outsourcing infrastructure costs and eliminating maintenance and upgrade times, RINA can optimize its IT resources. Business benefits include:

• More efficient ERP processes, especially in accounting and procurement
