Thanks to their partnership with MOQdigital, Beyond Blue are now able to extend this solution, utilising the tools and components delivered as part of their own technology roadmap and drive the further improvement of their platforms.Beyondblue’s Man Therapy campaign was developed to improve men’s wellbeing and reduce the higher rate of suicide among men in Australia compared to women. To help them achieve this objective, MOQdigital developed and deployed a solution based on the Microsoft Modern Data Warehouse Architecture, which could be easily extended to support any additional ongoing data and analytics requirements. Leveraging the Modern Data Warehouse Architecture, MOQdigital delivered a data model with reports developed in Power BI which align to the requirements of Beyond Blue, transforming their storage and insights capabilities, and building a solid foundation in analytics for them to achieve their organisational goals.

Prior to the industrial and economical disruptions caused by the pandemic, Beyond Blue had planned out their multi-year technology strategy and roadmap for enhancing and expanding their digital resources, including improving their data and analytics capabilities. Beyond Blue provides support and services to people affected by anxiety and depression in Australia for over 20 years. Australia is comparable in size to Western Europe or the mainland of the USA, yet has a population of just over 24 million. This was especially the case for Beyond Blue, Australia’s most well-known and visited mental health organisation.

Last year, COVID-19 disrupted the operations for organisations across the world.
