Enabling Departmental Independence: Data Warehouse Separation for Global Mining and Cement Supplier

After two years, the situation changed significantly:

• The client’s shared data warehouse led to inter-departmental dependencies, complicating data management and report sharing.
• Modifications for one department risked affecting the other, hindering autonomy and potential divestment efforts.

The above led to a shift in demands. To address this challenge comprehensively, the client aimed to establish separate data environments, mitigating operational risks and enhancing departmental autonomy.

The client trusted Scalefree once again to implement the new requirements.

Separating the data warehouse while maintaining operational continuity posed challenges including data integrity risks, transition disruptions, and the need to reconfigure CI/CD pipelines for department-specific requirements. The challenges included:

• Ensuring departmental autonomy within the shared data warehouse environment
• Mitigating risks of data integrity and operational interruptions during separation
• Implementing separate CI/CD pipelines while maintaining efficiency and consistency
