Executive Summary

Pre-paid Wireless Group (PWG) has chosen Amazon QuickSight for their data analysis, as it is a very fast, easy-to-use, cloud-powered business analytics service that makes it easy to build visualizations, perform ad-hoc analysis and quickly get business insights from their data, and be able to discover data from multiple data sources such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Athena, and Amazon S3. QuickSight enables organizations to scale their business analytics capabilities to hundreds of thousands of users and delivers fast and responsive query performance using a robust in-memory engine (SPICE).


Customer Challenge

The costs associated with managing and maintaining an on-premises environment is that all the solution entails and can run exponentially higher than a cloud computing environment. An on-premises setup required in-house server hardware, software licenses, integration capabilities, and IT employees on hand to support and manage potential issues that may arise. That doesn't even factor in the amount of maintenance that a company is responsible for when something breaks or doesn’t work.


Partner Solution

AWS QuickSight has been the savior to them with Pay Per Session model pricing, Embedded Analytics Capability, Federation of Enterprise Users from Active Directory to QuickSight, and blazing fast SPICE (Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory Calculation Engine) Engine to do the lowest grain aggregations. Single Sign with AWS IAM Identity Centre has been proposed and implemented to solve the manual user maintenance and enable direct login from their own mobile app. Permissions Control for Dashboards, Analysis, Datasets, Topics is super-easy with Asset Management in AWS QuickSight. Dataset Refreshes are transparent to end users as they are super-fast, even for huge datasets.
