A-People are now realizing that they have tons of historic data but they never got insights from it. Today, they can now do it on their own and with the support of IT for questions.

Looking to get more out of your data? Look no further than Google’s Data Studio!

Data Studio is a free cloud-based tool that turns your data into fully customizable informative reports and dashboards that are easy to read and share.

With its drag and drop features, as well as templates and charts, you can tell your data story in just a few easy clicks. What's more, Data Studio can also connect through different data sources such as Google, Facebook, YouTube and more!

It is already seeing adoption within the Group as resident Data Studio expert, Czarina Bastasa of AEV IT conducted a learning session on the platform which was attended and viewed by over a thousand Team Members.  

Moreover in recent months, she was able to extend her expertise to a number of CSUs in developing their reports and dashboards through Data Studio. Below are some of their testimonies demonstrating the value that the tool brings:

"I knew that these Data Visualization skills could be of help to all A-people, especially the Subject Matter Experts of the data—the data owners themselves," said Czarina. Its first use case outside of the IT team began with AEV Legal. Their readily available formulas and visualization made it much easier for them to create their own reports and tell their data stories.

Through the initiative of AEV IT, more and more A-people across the Group are becoming savvier with how they present their data. What's more, through Data Studio's simplified user experience, team members can save time creating manual reports and repetitive tasks on collating their data—and that is a shining example of efficiency that is enabled by our very own 2021 value of Innovation.

Innovation plays a critical role in our personal and professional lives. So let’s take this very seriously. We know we live the value when your family, team members, and communities are always looking for better ways of doing things without being told — be it report formats, simple ways of spending leisure time, new paths of learning or digital solutions.
