Case Study: Capella’s Digital Transformation Journey with Endeavour

Christopher McShane, Head of Corporate Services & Project Lead, Capella:

"This project has been transformative for Capella. By integrating our systems and unlocking the power of data through Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, we’ve gained the ability to make informed, strategic decisions at every level. Endeavour’s flexibility and expertise have been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing this partnership into the future."

Capella’s ambition for the future is to do more and reach more people. As a leader in the charity sector, Capella partnered with Endeavour to deliver a groundbreaking digital transformation project that has reshaped how we manage and leverage data. This collaboration not only strengthened our relationship with our systems and data but also positioned Capella as an advocate for digital innovation within the charity sector.

Challenge

Charities often hold large volumes of sensitive and complex information across multiple systems. Historically, these systems operated in silos, making it difficult to extract meaningful insights without significant manual effort. Our goals were clear:

· Secure and centralise data

· Enable system data to connect seamlessly through Microsoft Fabric OneLake

· Generate bespoke reports for strategic decision-making via Power BI

Approach

In collaboration with Endeavour, we have utilised Microsoft Fabric to transform and store data from all our systems to define a single source of truth for everything we record. This data then flows into Power BI, enabling custom dashboards and reports that inform decisions at board and senior management levels.

Key Benefits:

Integrated data: Data from different platforms now communicates effectively without wholesale system changes

Enhanced Security: Sensitive data is locked down and managed securely.

Strategic Insights: Bespoke reports provide actionable intelligence for governance and planning

Empowering our Team

Capella will begin leveraging these tools for advanced analytics, predictive insights and continuous improvement in service delivery. They also plan to maintain a support contract with Endeavour to ensure peace of mind and access to their expertise for future projects

Impact on the Charity Sector

This project exemplifies how charities can harness technology to unlock the potential of their data while maintaining security and compliance. We believe this approach can serve as a model for other organisations facing similar challenges.

Charlie Duffy, Business Development Manager, Endeavour:

"Capella previously faced challenges with reporting due to multiple data sources, (over 15 in total) which made reporting processes time-consuming and siloed. Like most organisations, their applications, data sources, and reporting requirements will continue to evolve. Together, we have developed a flexible solution designed to integrate with Capella’s future needs. We are excited to continue partnering with them as they securely gain insights and maximise the value of their data through Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and Copilot."
