Challenge 
The PHIS faced delays and inefficiencies due to outdated systems managing over 30 modules critical to public health operations. These inefficiencies impacted decision-making and responsiveness during emergencies. 

Solution 
Rajarajan’s team implemented: 

1. Streamlined Data Workflows: 
   1. Built optimized ETL pipelines for faster data processing. 
2. Real-Time Dashboards: 
   1. Enabled stakeholders to monitor key metrics instantly. 
3. Modular Upgrades: 
4. Improved the scalability and usability of individual modules. 

Outcome 

• 40% improvement in decision-making speed. 
• Enhanced operational efficiency, reducing delays in public health responses. 

Conclusion 
This case demonstrates the power of tailored data solutions in addressing complex public health challenges.
