Existing inadequate data integration implementation resulted in challenges of sharing data across departments and platforms, which resulted in the following:

• Data categorization and classification
• Multiple Database environments
• Multiple copies of same data
• Increasing impact on Source due to multiple extraction processes
• Numerous complex ETLs
• Performance issues (Databases, ETLs, Reporting Environments)
• Lack of usage statistics on reports and dashboards
• Lack of standardization on solution development patterns etc.

Dake conceptualized, designed, built, implemented, and maintained an Analytics Centre of Excellence (ACoE)​ that supported the delivery of data components of solutions and data migration thus ensuring that the data infrastructure provided the required performance, availability, capacity. ACoE included the following high-level approach: governance, incubate, resources, business support, core capabilities. The following was also established;

• Reports and analytics for required time periods,
• Detailed audit logs available for assurance purposes,
• Training to key stakeholders,
• Managed ongoing system support provided etc.
