Delta Tables vs. Parquet_ A Comprehensive Comparison for Modern Data Engineering

About Customer

Our client is a major player in the container and shipping industry, handling transportation of goods across the globe efficiently and reliably. With a vast network spanning continents, their operations largely depend on the effective management of containers, vessels, and logistical workflows. Recognizing the transformative potential of data, they have embraced a culture of analytics to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Business Problem

They were already using QlikView to address their data analytics needs. Given the diverse data sources and requirements of faster actionable insights, they sought to enhance its analytics capabilities, improve security and performance, reduce operational costs, and modernize its existing reporting environment.
To overcome challenges in the existing QlikView environment, the client aimed to migrate from QlikView to Microsoft Power BI, leveraging its advanced features, flexibility, and strong integration capabilities.

Challenges Faced

01

Integration Capabilities

Qlik's integration with other systems and data sources is insufficient, lacking compatibility with certain databases and formats.

02

Growing without a hitch

Qlik may struggle with scalability for large data volumes compared to Power BI, often needing hefty infrastructure investments for growth.

03

User Interface and User Experience

Qlik’s interface is unique but not beginner-friendly. While it has features like drill-down capability, they aren't as efficient as Power BI's.

04

Advanced Analytics and AI Capabilities

need for advanced analytics features, machine learning capabilities, or artificial intelligence-driven insights beyond Qlik’s offerings.

Our Solution

We designed a robust architecture for the Power BI implementation based on the requirements and challenges identified. The architecture emphasized data integration, governance, and scalability to accommodate the client’s large volumes of data across various business units and departments.
With a zero-risk approach, we carefully migrated the client’s data from QlikView to Power BI, ensuring data integrity and consistency. The migration process involved mapping the existing QlikView data models to Power BI datasets, along with necessary transformations and data cleansing.
Power BI is one of choice for migrating from Qlik due to its intuitive visualizations, similar data modeling concepts, extensive data connectivity options, advanced analytics capabilities, and seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem and other external data sources.
With its user-friendly interface, broad community support, and robust data preparation tools like Power Query and Power Pivot, they have opted for Power BI as their preferred business intelligence platform.

Real pleasure consulting with Kenexai to set up our company’s entire data warehouse and dashboards on AWS. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future work to be done. Our project was effective and 100% achieved what I planned to do in the beginning, in a shorter time frame and with less effort than I expected.

CCR Data perform complex data migrations, we needed and extra pair of hands to restore an Oracle database and transfer the data to a Microsoft SQL database ready for our migration analysts to do their stuff. We would not hesitate in recommending or using Kenexai again and would be happy to outsource bigger projects to them in the future.
