One of New Zealand’s biggest international technology success stories, and an organisation which breathes data, leveraged NOW Consulting and the WhereScape RED data warehousing automation tool to move its data warehouse onto the Amazon Web Services cloud. The first-of-its-kind migration meant the cloud accounting provider added its BI stack to its new Platform as a Service provider with minimal impact, while preserving the logic and functionality of an established on-premise data services platform.

“If we didn’t have RED, we simply would not have the tools to go to work on our data.”

Needing little introduction, Xero was founded in 2006 and is one of the world’s fastest growing software as a service companies. It leads the New Zealand, Australian, and United Kingdom cloud accounting markets, employs a world-class team of more than 2,000 people and was identified by Forbes as the World’s Most Innovative Growth Company in 2014 and 2015.

With a million customers and growing, data is vital to its continued success.

When Abano Healthcare Group migrated Maven Dental Group and Lumino the Dentists data and systems to the cloud, they realised the value of an automated, scalable data ecosystem in only 60 days (30 days each for Lumino and Maven). Such a fast path to datability accelerated their time-to-value and put benefits like these within reach sooner:

Maven and Lumino wanted the ability to expand quickly and grow their existing practice network. But dedicated data infrastructure was slowing them down.

Now, when they bring on a new dental practice they have the infrastructure they need to add that practice into one data ecosystem simply and easily. They can turn capacity on and off instantly and only pay for what they use.

Scalability
Maven and Lumino wanted the ability to expand quickly and grow their existing practice network. But dedicated data infrastructure was slowing them down.

Now, when they bring on a new dental practice they have the infrastructure they need to add that practice into one data ecosystem simply and easily. They can turn capacity on and off instantly and only pay for what they use.

Possibility
Advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI are the future of business in the cloud. Now, they come with a much lower barrier to entry and faster – as services built into the Azure platform.

Abano, Maven and Lumino can now access advanced methods to analyse their data. They can do this across the business or down to a single dental chair. Such insights have enabled them to tap into new possibilities they didn’t have the means to uncover previously.

Profitibility
Abano Group save thousands of dollars every month on dedicated infrastructure costs and realised the value of their data ecosystem investment quickly.

Automation has led to further savings through a more efficient allocation of resources. And this is only the beginning, the true potential of profitability lies in what Lumino and Maven can now do with their data and the value that can drive.
