’Twas the night before Christmas, it was time to switch off, The term had been busy, the workload quite tough. Outcomes were charted, and strategies laid, Patterns uncovered and progress displayed. The dashboards were glowing, with charts all aligned, Each one a story, with insights combined. The reports were saved, all tasks neatly done, Now thoughts turn to rest and having some fun. When outside my office there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter. The sight that I saw took me by surprise, It was Santa, no less, with fear in his eyes. Santa was panicked and so were his elves, And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself. Their systems had crashed, their data was scattered, The naughty-and-nice list was hopelessly tattered. He cried, "Without data, I don't know who's been good, Or who’s misbehaved in their neighbourhood! The naughty-and-nice list is nowhere in sight, We’ve lost all the data to guide us tonight! How will we deliver?" cried Santa in dread, "Without this data, Christmas is dead!" Then I stepped forward, my laptop in hand, "Don't worry, Santa, I’ve got a plan. We'll pull all your data from far and from wide, We’ll organise it all and our dashboards will guide! Now, Power BI! now, Excel! now Snowflake and Tableau! On, SQL! on, Python! on, Sheets and Looker Studio! To fingertip data! to insights that glow! Now analyse! visualise! Let the data flow!" With such rapid updates, the insights they soared, With dazzling dashboards, the data restored. With data now flowing, the list was intact, No child would miss out, Santa’s sleigh was now packed. Santa could see, with one single view, Who wanted which toy, and where they lived too. His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! "Without you, we’d have been stuck until January!" He chuckled and grinned, his heart full of cheer, As his streamlined data made everything clear. "Thanks, Edwards Data Solutions Limited," he said with delight, "Saving Christmas with data—what a magical night!" He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. So here’s to good data, and visions so bright, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
