Strategic Role in Digital Transformation
Niall O’Toole: Dynamo is fundamental to our data platform that we have been developing from a digital transformation perspective. It’s the core business platform. [In Dynamo] We have:

  • All our deals
  • It’s our CRM
  • And it’s our track record

Data Connectivity & Integration

For us, it manages a full deal lifecycle except for financial transactions. So, it was imperative that we had the ability to connect data sources to tools such as:

  • Bloomberg, where we take financial data and market data and we integrate that with Dynamo
  • We extract a lot of information for PowerBI. We’re heavy PowerBI users, and we’re disseminating information across the organization through that channel.
  • We have a lot of SFTP connections where we’re migrating data in and out of the platform. It was another key aspect for us.

When we were looking at the Dynamo tool–the connectivity of the platform–we spent a lot of time looking “underneath the bonnet,” and the connectivity of the platform ticked all the boxes for us, with the ease of moving data in and out.

Solving Fragmented Data Challenges

We didn’t have a central database. We didn’t have a single source of truth. That really valuable data was sitting in PDFs, sitting in Outlook, sitting in PowerPoint. No one could aggregate that or gain a holistic view of statuses and progression.

By bringing in Dynamo, we’ve been able to make great strides. There’s still a lot of work to be doing with adoption and engagement, but now we’ve been able to:

  • Architecture a data platform where colleagues can come in, and they can update the information and share with colleagues very easily.
  • Again with the integrations, the ability to overlay PowerBI on top of that
    • It just means that we can get that data that information to people so much faster and make it more interactive and engaging for them, so it’s been a huge, huge improvement for us.

AI Integration & Future Expansion

Personally at InfraRed one of the things that we’re looking to expand out is obviously AI— it is the key buzzword, and with Dynamo being at the center of our data world, it’s imperative that we can use AI to take advantage of that and get that information out.

We have around about 500 users on the Dynamo platform, and the ability for AI to help us filter through and get that real key information to people is an aspect that we’re pursuing quite heavily at the moment and exploring latest opportunities.

For example, bringing in information with Copilot to help build presentations on the fly is one angle that we’re looking at as well.
