deltAlyz Corp.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for the federal government as a senior financial analyst.

What challenge were you trying to address with deltAlyz Corp.?

We hired deltAlyz Corp. to give us training on how to use Power BI for data analytics.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They focused on how we could use Power BI as the software we could use for reporting and analysis in our organization. We had a two-day session with them in May. After that, I had a follow-up one-day session for myself in June.

What is the team composition?

There was only one instructor for our team, but I wasn’t sure if they had more employees in the background.

How did you come to work with deltAlyz Corp.?

deltAlyz Corp. was found by our data and analytics team manager. She was the one who organized the sessions.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from May–June 2021.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The instructor we had was very thorough; he presented himself and the software extremely well. He was also able to walk us through the step-by-step process of using Power BI. On top of that, he provided incredible explanations that could be understood by people who weren’t that well-versed in data analytics.

How did deltAlyz Corp. perform from a project management standpoint?

They had an excellent project management process; deltAlyz Corp. had a set agenda of what would be covered in the sessions and the only time we exceeded it was because they devoted extra time to answer specific questions. We used Microsoft Teams to communicate during the engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I haven’t been really exposed to others extensively, so I wouldn’t be able to compare them. However, our experience with deltAlyz Corp. was great. If I would hire them again, their instructor would be perfect because he had high-level knowledge.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The material they discussed was very extensive. Thus, for some of the people in our organization, the discussion was very compressed. It would’ve been helpful if they had allotted extra time or segregated the amount of material they presented. However, my comment would be very subjective because understanding their presentation would differ from one person to another.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Review your software ahead of time if you have the opportunity so that your training sessions with deltAlyz Corp. will be much easier.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Singer/Mueller is a manufacturer of products for the waterworks industry. I do some operations and sales supports functions at Singer.

For what projects/services did your company hire deltAlyz Corp., and what were your goals?

JIMCA Project Our EPR system and products requires unique product codes based on product characteristics. This was previously done as a manual process which was time consuming and yield inconsistent results due to human error. Goal was an application to give consistent products codes quickly.

OMPA Project Our finished goods area configured and modular type of assembly. The constructing of a product operations manual was a tedious task of collecting various sub-components datasheets and assembling them into a single operations manual for the finished product. Goal was automate this manual collection of datasheet PDF's and automatically combine them into a single product manual.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Interviews with team members to see their application building philosophy and to thru examining some of their past work on similar projects.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

"Q&A" sessions with lead myself and Deltalyz consultant to determine needs of projects and users. How input and data would be captured. How it would be acted on and processed. Q&A sessions helped to determine the must have key criteria and deliverables. From this we were able to determine what technologies could be used (in our case MS PowerApps and it supporting software modules.)

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

1 directly, with 2 more indirectly

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Both projects were launched on time (ahead of time to be honest). Feedback from users was well received. JIMCA project reduced errors by approximately 20% and allowed the product code to be created about 15% quicker than the previous method. OMPA project reduced operation manual creation time by approximately 35%. Also helped prevent use of "out of date" data sheets as web application.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Commutation varied as needed. In person when needed. Regular updates via emails. Video conference sessions and screen sharing where visuals helped explain certain challenges and ideas.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

- Easy to talk to - Able to explain very technical details so we could understand pros and cons of certain decision - They had a quick turnaround time.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
