Vantage Data Centers implemented DataFreedom, a centralized platform purpose-built for Yardi data integration, to connect their three global Yardi environments into a single, normalized data model. DataFreedom’s data expertise and real estate experience combined to deliver a global data solution that significantly improved efficiency, saved time, and empowered faster decision-making.
Client Challenges
Vantage Data Centers, a leading global data center provider, operates in three separate Yardi environments across EMEA, APAC and the US. Each environment was configured differently, making cross-regional reporting slow, inconsistent, and labor-intensive.
Finance and operations teams relied heavily on Yardi-generated custom reports, manual downloads, and merging large data files to produce portfolio-level insights, which delayed reporting cycles, created version control issues, and limited data accessibility for non-finance users.
- Manual data extraction and merging from multiple databases.
- Time-consuming management reporting.
- No central source of truth for cross-region performance reporting.
DataFreedom Solution
DataFreedom integrated Vantage’s three global Yardi environments into a single, normalized data model. Using DataFreedom’s templates and Power BI dashboards, the DataFreedom team designed a scalable reporting structure tailored to Vantage’s operational, financial, and lender reporting needs. Automated data refreshes every 30-60 minutes ensure near real-time access to consolidated information, while the self-service model allows global teams to create and adapt dashboards without relying on Yardi custom reports.

We use Yardi heavily for many of our business processes and were particularly impressed with DataFreedom’s ready-made dashboards and templates. They met our reporting needs and allowed easy access to our data through Excel and Power BI.
DataFreedom has completely changed how we work. Our quarterly lender reporting is now automated, saving significant time, and our non-finance teams can self-serve insights without relying on Yardi or finance. The development team has been so responsive and impressive. We couldn’t ask for more.”
