Talent Beyond Boundaries & Sopact - Pioneering Data-Driven Impact in Humanitarian Work

Talent Beyond Boundaries

Overview: Talent Beyond Boundaries (TBB) is a global organization focused on unlocking refugee talent, connecting skilled refugees with employers around the world. In 2022, TBB partnered with Sopact to tackle challenges in data integration, reporting, and impact management, seeking a comprehensive solution to unify multiple internal systems and streamline their data processes. Their goal was clear: to create a central data hub that would enable real-time access to critical information for internal teams and external stakeholders alike.

Challenge:

TBB had a complex ecosystem of systems in place, including Salesforce, their custom-built Global Talent Catalog, and SurveyMonkey. While these systems were essential for managing operations, the integration of data across platforms was cumbersome and time-consuming. This reliance on manual data unification and Salesforce's complicated data pipelines caused inefficiencies. Additionally, the organization considered costly solutions like Salesforce’s Data Pipeline and Tableau for visualization and reporting, but these options required significant internal capacity and ongoing management.

The integration process itself was not only time-consuming but costly in terms of internal resources. As TBB scaled, they needed a more efficient way to aggregate data from Salesforce and SurveyMonkey, and present real-time analytics for impact reporting, marketing, partnership communications, and fundraising efforts.

TBB Challenges

Solution: In 2022, TBB found a solution in Sopact Suite, a fully integrated impact data platform. Sopact Suite offered a flexible alternative to the more rigid Salesforce and Tableau options. The platform provided several advantages, such as:

  1. Unbelievably fast integration: Sopact Suite’s data integration pipeline, powered by Apache Superset and Airbytes, allowed TBB to unify data from Salesforce, SurveyMonkey, and their internal systems within a short timeframe.
  2. Go live in under three months: With Sopact’s streamlined onboarding process, TBB was able to fully design and launch their real-time dashboards in less than three months, significantly reducing the time to impact.
  3. Real-time data visibility: Sopact enabled real-time access to integrated data, allowing the organization to pull insights faster, respond to partners more effectively, and manage operations efficiently.
  4. Live public dashboards: TBB leveraged Sopact’s embeddable public dashboards for real-time marketing, partnership communication, and fundraising efforts. These dashboards showcased their impact, improving transparency and driving more engagement from potential partners and donors.

Results:

By choosing Sopact Suite, Talent Beyond Boundaries gained a flexible and cost-effective data hub. They avoided being locked into a complex Salesforce-centric solution and significantly reduced the internal capacity required for data management and reporting. Additionally, Sopact enabled TBB to:

  • Simplify the complexity of data pipelines and unify data from multiple systems in real-time.
  • Go live with their impact dashboards in under three months, which would have taken much longer with alternative solutions.
  • Communicate their impact more effectively to external stakeholders through live public dashboards embedded directly on their website.

This partnership with Sopact provided TBB with the necessary tools to focus on their mission, using data to amplify their impact and drive more effective partnerships and fundraising efforts.

Conclusion:

Talent Beyond Boundaries found in Sopact a reliable partner that could meet their data integration and impact measurement needs efficiently and affordably. Sopact’s fast integration, real-time capabilities, and embeddable dashboards allowed TBB to overcome the challenges of working with complex systems like Salesforce, ultimately enhancing their ability to make a lasting impact on refugee talent worldwide.
