Cloud Database Migration for Rubin Education
Rubin's PowerBI dashboard relied on a fragile on-premise gateway, forcing an employee to keep their computer running 24/7. We migrated their database to Azure, eliminating the hardware dependency and achieving 99.9% dashboard uptime.
Challenges
The PowerBI dashboard required an on-premise data gateway to refresh
An employee's local device had to stay on around the clock to host the gateway
Any computer shutdown broke the dashboard and required a manual fix
Solutions
Audited existing data to right-size the new Azure cloud environment
Created a phased migration plan to keep operations running during the move
Migrated all historical data with automated scripts to capture last-minute changes
Reconnected the dashboard to pull directly from the new cloud database
Results

“Akaike is a phenomenal partner. Our company needed to create a visual display of user data (we provide professional development curriculum to K-12 schools). They built our data dashboard from scratch and then helped us modify and improve as customers asked for different data types. We still come back to Akaike for additional improvements. They are responsive, friendly, hardworking individuals and will deliver exactly what you need. We're grateful for Akaike!”
