Challenge
- Managing Rapidly Growing Datasets: The company had to deal with data coming in from many different places at an ever-increasing rate, which put a lot of stress on the current infrastructure.
- DOMO's Scalability Problems: The current DOMO solution had performance problems that made it hard to scale and meet business needs.
- Slow Data Retrieval: With cloud-based processing in DOMO, data queries took a long time and decision-making was less efficient.
- Need for Large-Scale Migration: More than 150 dashboards had to be moved from DOMO to Tableau without affecting business as usual.
- Complex Dashboard Adaptation: The designs and calculations on DOMO dashboards were very complicated, so they had to be carefully changed to work in Tableau.

Solution
- Phased Migration Strategy: We used a step-by-step plan for migration, with five teams working together to make sure everything went smoothly.
- Using Tableau for Scalability: We switched to Tableau because it can handle and show large datasets quickly and easily.
- Centralized Data Warehouse with Snowflake: We combined more than 550 different datasets into Snowflake, which gives us one reliable source of truth for analytics.
- Optimized Tableau Dashboard Design: Redesigned and improved dashboards and calculations in Tableau to get the same results as DOMO while making them work better.
- Strategic Deployment Approach: For smaller datasets, we used incremental refresh to speed up load times, and for larger datasets, we used live connections to keep insights up to date.

Results
- Big Drop in Computing Time: By using incremental refresh for smaller datasets, we were able to cut overall computing time by 80%.
- Faster Query Processing: We cut the time it took to process queries by 60%, which made it easier to get insights and made things run more smoothly.
- Better Dashboard Performance: Dashboard visual load times went up by 200–300%, which made the user experience smoother and decisions faster.
