When a global consumer goods company decided not to renew its Domo license, it saw an opportunity to modernize far more than its reporting platform. The organization wanted to improve scalability, strengthen data ownership, increase transparency, and build a stronger foundation for future analytics and AI initiatives.

 

We partnered with the client to deliver a seamless Domo Exit Migration, transforming a fragmented analytics environment into a modern ecosystem powered by Microsoft Azure, Databricks, and Power BI. The result was faster reporting, improved data quality, stronger governance, and a future-ready platform that supports confident decision-making and long-term growth.

 

Client Profile:

A global consumer goods company operating across multiple markets relied on a mature Domo environment supporting four core solutions, 35-40 KPIs, and 60 dashboards that enabled critical business processes.

 

The company partnered with Lingaro to migrate to a modern Azure, Databricks, and Power BI ecosystem while modernizing its underlying analytics foundation and maintaining business continuity throughout the transition.

 

Challenge:

The organization needed to complete the migration before its Domo contract expired, creating a fixed and non-negotiable timeline.

 

The challenge extended beyond replacing reports. The client wanted to address high licensing and operating costs, overcome limitations in handling growing data volumes, improve readiness for advanced analytics and AI, and resolve fragmented ownership across multiple systems and vendors.

 

The existing environment also contained inconsistencies, duplicate records, and outdated data that reduced confidence in reporting. At the same time, critical reporting capabilities had to remain available throughout the transition while delivering a more intuitive experience for business users.

 

 

Solution:

Using our Migration Factory approach, we delivered a full Domo Exit Migration to a modern Microsoft Azure, Databricks, and Power BI environment.

 

Rather than simply replicating existing dashboards, we redesigned reporting experiences, rebuilt business logic directly from source systems, and established a scalable, governed data architecture. We implemented a Bronze, Silver, and Gold architecture in Databricks, translated proprietary logic into transparent SQL and Python processes, and centralized data engineering within a single platform.

 

The result was more than a platform replacement. The client gained greater data ownership, improved transparency, stronger governance, and a scalable foundation ready to support future analytics and AI initiatives.

 

Impact:

The migration successfully transitioned four core solutions, 35-40 KPIs, and 60 dashboards without disrupting business operations.

 

Refresh times improved by 3x across the full front-end and back-end reporting process, giving users faster access to insights and enabling more timely decisions. By rebuilding and validating business logic directly from source systems, the organization improved data quality, increased trust in reporting, and reduced reliance on legacy platforms and third-party vendors.

 

Most importantly, the client replaced a fragmented analytics environment with a scalable, governed, AI-ready platform that supports business growth today while providing a stronger foundation for future innovation.

 

Key results:

  • 3x faster refresh times across the reporting process

  • Successful migration of four core solutions

  • 35-40 KPIs and 60 dashboards transitioned

  • Improved data quality and trust in reporting

  • Greater data transparency and ownership

  • Reduced reliance on legacy platforms and third-party vendors
