As a premier partner of Alteryx, Beinex boasts the region’s largest cohort of Alteryx-certified consultants, deploying Alteryx solutions across both governmental and non-governmental organizations in various domains. Alteryx has been a cornerstone in empowering business users towards self-service analytics, minimizing their reliance on IT teams.

3. Among all these success stories which one was more challenging and effective in terms of achieving business goals and achievements of clients? Please share your experience?

A notable challenge was encountered with a regulatory authority in the Middle East, struggling with penalty calculations for end customers. The team previously relied on Excel and faced issues with errors and time inefficiency, leading to regulatory discrepancies and customer dissatisfaction. By automating the system with Alteryx, penalties could be calculated in real-time, reducing 4-5 days of manual process to seconds. This solution notably decreased customer complaints, improved turnaround times for penalty calculations, and enhanced overall customer satisfaction.

4. How do you approach customising Alteryx solutions to meet the unique needs of each client?

The customisation process for Alteryx solutions begins with a GAP Analysis to identify client needs and pain points. Alteryx’s flexibility and diverse toolset allow for tailored solutions addressing specific challenges. Furthermore, Alteryx’s vast library of use cases across different industries provides a quick glimpse into potential results and tool capabilities, facilitating a customised approach for each client.

5. How do you ensure smooth integration of Alteryx with a client’s existing systems and tools?

Integration strategies involve detailed discussions with stakeholders to create a clear data flow diagram, ensuring seamless connectivity between systems. Furthermore, a detailed pre-requisite is always shared with the IT team to ensure proper connectivity is established with the systems. Alteryx’s extensive connectivity features, supporting over 120+ databases, allow for easy integration into clients’ existing data landscapes, ensuring a smooth data flow from source to destination.

6. How do you ensure that clients are equipped to use Alteryx effectively, and what kind of ongoing support do you provide?

Beinex supports clients on their self-service analytics journey by providing custom Alteryx training and workshops. “Doctor sessions” are held with users to address their challenges with the solution and to guide them on best practices and methodologies. Additionally, we organise weekly and monthly challenges to expedite the certification process for users in Alteryx. Moreover, bi-monthly workshops are arranged for our entire client base to keep them informed of the latest updates and best practices in Alteryx.

Data security and governance are paramount in all Alteryx workflow developments and deployments.

Alteryx Server’s robust RBAC system further ensures that users access only the workflows relevant to their roles, maintaining strict data security and compliance.
