Proof from previous work
Real problems. Real environments. Real outcomes.
Before founding Orivian, Jared spent seven years inside healthcare, manufacturing, and municipal government — environments where reporting fragmentation and operational complexity are the norm, not the exception. These are representative examples of that work.
Note on attribution. These stories describe real work from Jared’s career as a BI developer and analyst. They are presented anonymously out of respect for the organizations involved. They are not Orivian client results — they are the founder experience that Orivian is built on.
Operations reporting modernization
Situation
Operational and financial reporting was spread across multiple systems, manual Excel files, and inconsistent processes. Different departments tracked the same metrics differently, and no single report could be trusted without verification.
What was broken
Reports took too long to produce. Metric definitions varied by team. Leaders relied on fragmented spreadsheets to understand performance — and often got different answers depending on who they asked.
What was built
Built Power BI reporting and governed data workflows that brought key metrics into a centralized reporting environment. Replaced manual exports with a maintained semantic model and consistent definitions across departments.
What changed
Leadership gained faster access to operational insight. Reporting became consistent and trustworthy. Teams spent less time reconciling spreadsheets and more time acting on the information.
BI modernization, enterprise reporting
Situation
Reporting depended on legacy systems, manual processes, and disconnected business logic accumulated over years. The reporting layer was technically functional but difficult to maintain, hard to govern, and not built for modern self-service analytics.
What was broken
Business users couldn't get answers without involving IT. Reports were slow to update, hard to trust, and required a developer to change. Leadership visibility into operational performance was delayed and incomplete.
What was built
Converted legacy reporting into Power BI, building reusable semantic models, cleaning up data logic, and creating a scalable analytics environment that business users could operate and query without technical support.
What changed
The business moved to a modern reporting foundation with clearer metrics, reusable models, and better access to operational performance data — without depending on a developer for every new question.
Operational visibility across departments
Situation
Departments needed better visibility into their operations, but the reporting process relied on manual files, spreadsheet workarounds, and disconnected data sources. Information existed across systems — it just wasn't connected into anything usable.
What was broken
There was no simple operating picture. Pulling a status report meant contacting multiple departments, waiting for exports, and manually assembling the numbers. Decisions were made on stale or incomplete data.
What was built
Replaced manual reporting processes with structured Power BI reporting, giving teams a clear, maintained view of activity, performance, and operational status. Drove adoption through working sessions and screenshare walkthroughs.
What changed
The organization gained a cleaner reporting process, improved cross-department visibility, and reduced dependence on manual spreadsheet maintenance. Teams trusted the data enough to act on it.
What comes next
These are the problems Orivian is built to solve.
