Case Study: Barnardos improves reporting with Fusion5's data lake and Power BI

Barnardos supports 25,000 children and families with Fusion5 data lake and Power BI

Barnardos, New Zealand's largest children's charity, faced a challenge in producing consolidated reports from its two primary systems, Dynamics 365 and a separate early childhood education platform. This required significant manual reconciliation effort. They engaged vendor Fusion5 to collaborate on a more sustainable data and reporting approach.

Fusion5 implemented a data lake solution that consolidated information from both source systems and introduced Power BI as a single reporting interface. This provided a reliable, governed data foundation that eliminated manual reconciliation and simplified report access. Fusion5 also provided targeted Power BI training to build internal capability and confidence, allowing Barnardos to achieve greater independence while retaining trusted expertise for support when needed.
