Elanor Investors Group partnered with One51 to build a scalable data platform on Microsoft Fabric, replacing manual spreadsheets with a connected, automated, and intelligent environment that supports growth and smarter decisions.
Elanor Investors Group is an ASX-listed funds management company specialising in real estate investments. Following significant growth and diversification, Elanor’s executive team recognised that its existing tools and processes could no longer meet the scale or complexity of the organisation’s data needs.
The business set out to implement a secure, enterprise-grade data solution that could unify fragmented data, improve operational efficiency, and provide a single source of truth for reporting and analysis.
For years, Elanor’s data was managed through multiple software systems and spreadsheets, creating inefficiencies and limiting visibility. Manual reconciliation and transformation between tools made it difficult for teams to extract timely insights.
Chief Technology Officer Greg Mclaine explains,
“Microsoft Office tools were practical at the time, but manual intervention for transforming and reconciling data between systems was impacting productivity. It wasn’t delivering the capability needed to scale and meet our strategic objectives.”
Following a strategic review, Elanor selected One51 Consulting for its experience in real estate data environments and strong alignment with the company’s culture.
Working closely with Elanor’s leadership and technical teams, One51:
Conducted extensive stakeholder workshops to understand data pain points and future-state requirements.
Designed and deployed an end-to-end prototype using Microsoft Fabric, encompassing data ingestion, cleansing, and transformation.
Created interactive dashboards for financial, management, investment, and asset performance reporting.
Aligned governance and security frameworks with the company’s Microsoft ecosystem.

The new prototype has been widely praised across the organisation for its usability, scalability, and potential to empower decision-making.
“Our teams can now see key metrics such as lease vacancies across all assets in one view,” says Greg. “It’s much faster, more seamless, and gives us the ability to measure performance against KPIs with confidence.”
By automating data flows and integrating third-party sources, Elanor has gained the foundation for a single, trusted source of truth—a scalable platform ready to support continued growth and innovation.
