Budapest BI 2015

In the talk described our experience of setting up data reporting and Business Intelligence processes for an international company. Starting with an Excel file and bunch SQL queries, switching from in-house reporting solution to centralised hosted reports for building a flexible system for monitoring KPI of the company.

Attendees will learn from our experience how to integrate Tableau into the processes of a company, how to build independent ETL subsystems that scale to petabyte size and other useful learnings.

We will cover our early days with cloud solutions, that do not provide a DWH platform, so you can not expect any kind of production requirements. In the talk, we will go through the process of automatically duplicating our Tableau datasources to Amazon Redshift. That will enable us to be more flexible with scaling data, be sure about backup strategies and many-many more points. We will introduce our python toolchain that helps us in a daily management of our BI.
