Fallstudien Implementing a Presentable Data Warehouse for a Leading Consulting Company

Über den Kunden

The client advises top-level management and operates in over 65 countries. The consulting company pursues the goal of substantially and permanently improving the performance of its clients.

Problemstellung

The existing on-premise Data Warehouse solution did not use leading state of the art technologies. As a consulting company, the client wanted to implement a showcase project to present to their clients as well. In this way, the client wanted to overcome the following issues which were not feasible in the current solution as:

The on-premise solution was limited to certain sources
There were many bugs due to a misconfigured automation tool
There were performance issues with the old Data Warehouse
Problems connecting to cloud services plagued to process

Die Herausforderung

Due to the fact that an on-premise solution was used, there were some challenges that arose in this regard, those being:

Performance issues due to limits in scaling-up and scaling-out
The on-premise solution was missing connectors to cloud services
The current model could not integrate new sources that well
The client did not have technical knowledge regarding certain tools

Die Lösung

Against the background that there was no presentable architecture in place, we decided to create a cloud architecture and use the Data Vault 2.0 approach.

Konkrete Ergebnisse für den Kunden

Query the Enterprise Data Warehouse faster and with more concurrent users
Derive information with a higher business value due to the integration of new sources
