Magenta Living partners with ANS to increase data capabilities and deliver greater insight

Magenta Living has previously utilised data reporting solutions such as PowerBI to deliver its analysis needs, and while this has served some purposes, the organisation was wanting a single version of the truth, with different datasets sometimes displaying conflicting data. For Magenta Living to achieve its new data strategy, new tooling and skills were required and the organisation is now in a place to move to a well-designed, fit-for-future modern data platform and deliver on their data aspirations. Magenta Living very much sees this project as a strategic, long-term shift to build ground-breaking use cases that deliver real value to customers.

A Microsoft Fabric modern data platform will allow Magenta Living to:

• Support improved business reporting and strategic decision making – developing a new organisational data and analytics capability that is currently not possible
• Develop a transformed culture where data quality, continuous improvement, and removing unneeded manual processes is paramount
• Have a place to go where there is one trusted version of the truth – storing information and data in one reporting solution with improved information governance in place.
• Deliver data and insight faster to those who need it, such as the senior leadership team and operational management

ANS’ Housing Lead Chris Hampson said: “The desire to gain further insight from the data held within a housing association to improve the lives of tenants is a common driver we see across the housing sector. Housing Associations are typically ‘data-rich but insight-poor’, and Magenta Living will now be able to go on to leverage their data to achieve their objectives on their Road to 2030. We are really excited to work alongside the Magenta Living team, and we are looking forward to delivering valuable use cases together through the Data Centre of Excellence service.”
