Optimizing Data Strategy for an ABA Treatment Provider

Ataviz Consulting partnered with a mid-sized Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) treatment provider to enhance how they leveraged data for operational and clinical decision-making. The goal was not just faster dashboards, but creating a foundation for reliable, actionable insights that could scale across the organization.
Challenge
The organization faced slow and unstable connections in their data pipeline, frequent dashboard crashes, and inconsistencies in reporting. These issues made it difficult for leadership to make timely, informed decisions and limited the organization’s ability to expand analytics to other departments.

Strategy
Ataviz Consulting conducted a thorough review of the company’s data architecture and reporting processes. We identified bottlenecks in the data pipeline, restructured data relationships across multiple sources, and removed unused fields and measures. We also optimized Power BI reports and dashboards, including DAX calculations, time intelligence, and chart efficiency, to improve performance. Additionally, we recommended a future-proof process for ETL and data warehousing to support scalable analytics across the organization.
Outcome
The improvements delivered measurable business impact:
- 22% reduction in overall file size
- 25% faster dashboard refresh times
- Fewer crashes and missing data, leading to more reliable reporting
The optimized dashboards enabled leadership to make faster, more informed decisions and empowered other departments to build their own reporting, increasing the organization’s overall data literacy and operational efficiency.
