Coforge’s Data Cosmos Report Rationalizer & Converter

Report Rationalizer & Converter is Coforge's metadata-driven BI rationalization and conversion accelerator that automates report consolidation, duplication detection, ageing analysis, and migration from legacy BI tools to Microsoft Power BI. Part of the Coforge Data Cosmos Supernova portfolio, it streamlines redundant report landscapes, cuts maintenance costs by 20–50%, and accelerates BI modernization through intelligent metadata extraction and automated report recreation.

Challenges Addressed: • Report Sprawl – Thousands of redundant, duplicated, or unused reports consuming resources • Manual Effort – Slow, error-prone lineage tracing requiring weeks of subjective review • Migration Cost – Rebuilding logic and re-mapping data for Power BI takes weeks per report • Lack of Visibility – Unknown duplicates and missed consolidation opportunities

Two Engines: Report Rationalizer (Rationalization Engine): • Metadata Extraction Services – Extracts usage logs, ageing, structure, fields, and dependencies from legacy BI tools (Tableau, SSRS) • Metadata Repository – Central store for deduplication, lineage, and prioritization • Rationalization Microservices – Auto-identifies duplicate reports, overlapping dashboards, unused/low-usage reports, and ageing/stale content • Rationalization Dashboards – Insights on usage, redundancy, ageing buckets, and prioritized retirement/consolidation list Report Converter (Conversion Engine): • BI Metadata Extraction – Extracts schema, calculations, filters, measures, visuals, and data sources • Metadata Mapping – Maps legacy report metadata to Power BI equivalents • Automated Code Conversion – Converts legacy logic to DAX, relationships, and visuals • Report Reconstruction – Automates Power BI template and visual layout creation

Value Delivered: • ~50% reduction in cleanup and consolidation effort • 20–50% lower BI maintenance costs • Accelerated migration from Tableau/SSRS to Power BI

Industry Examples: • BFS – Rationalized 2,000+ regulatory reports, retiring 40% as redundant and converting priority reports to Power BI for unified risk dashboards • Insurance – Consolidated overlapping claims and underwriting dashboards, reducing report count by 35% and migrating to Power BI for unified analytics • Travel – Identified stale booking reports and modernized revenue dashboards to Power BI with automated DAX conversion • Healthcare – Rationalized clinical reporting, detecting 500+ unused SSRS reports and converting active reports to Power BI for care quality dashboards

The 6-week implementation covers: BI landscape discovery, metadata extraction, duplication analysis, ageing scoring, report rationalization and report conversion.

Target Audience: BI Teams, Data Analytics Leads, CIOs, Report Developers, BI Governance Teams.
