In a competitive and compliance-driven industry like healthcare IT, accurate data isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s mission-critical. When a large managed services provider (MSP) in the healthcare IT space approached Brewster Consulting Group, they were struggling to gain control of their data after forming a new services division through the acquisition of four separate companies.
Each acquired business brought its own systems, reporting practices, and invoicing inconsistencies. What resulted was a tangled mess of unreliable reports, missed revenue, and operational inefficiencies. Leadership knew they needed clarity, structure, and most importantly, a system that would help them scale without losing revenue or clients.
Brewster Consulting was brought in to untangle the complexity and design a solution that would deliver both measurable ROI and long-term operational benefits. The results were transformative.
Uncovering Lost Revenue and Saving Time
The first step was to understand the existing data environment. Brewster’s team met with internal stakeholders to map out current processes and pain points. Misaligned metrics, manual invoicing errors, and the absence of unified data governance were found to be costing the company heavily.
Working closely with the client, Brewster rebuilt their data architecture using a combination of SQL Server
for warehousing, Alteryx
for process automation, and Power BI
for visual reporting and operational dashboards. These tools not only delivered clean, reliable insights, but also enabled seamless automation across invoicing, reporting, and service quality metrics. To further enhance consistency and alignment across teams, Brewster also developed a custom-built data dictionary,
standardizing key business terms and definitions throughout the organization.
Almost immediately after implementation, the client uncovered $50,000 in monthly revenue
that had been previously unbilled due to reporting errors. In addition, over 40 hours per week of manual labor
were eliminated through automated workflows, freeing up teams to focus on strategic work rather than repetitive data cleanup.
