Treasury analysts and economists frequently performed repetitive tasks such as downloading and transforming datasets like ONS inflation data, creating duplication of effort, dataset divergence, and operational inefficiencies.
The solution
Hawkeye is a centralised data management system built on Microsoft Fabric cloud analytics platform with Power BI integrations that automates economic data collection from Treasury's internal sources and external partners including the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The system generates automated flash briefings with key economic data summaries, eliminates manual data transformation through automated backend processes, provides an accessible front-end interface where coding is optional, and centralises data management to create a one-stop shop for data and analysis across the department.
The results
Hawkeye is currently live and widely used across the Treasury. It has won top honours at the Treasury Information Systems (TrIS) Innovation Awards for transforming data management operations. The tool has saved hours of analysts' time and allows them to focus on deeper economic analysis and strategic work.
