Reviewed existing set up, provided solution options, and recommended architecture along with optimal configuration (environments, number of servers, sizing) needed to sustain both current and future needs
COMPANY OVERVIEW
A multinational personal care company operating in 120 countries and regions around the world, producing cosmetics, fragrances, and hair & skin care products.
BUSINESS NEED
With the existing architecture and multiple siloed data marts, the client was not able to provide complete, accurate and timely business insights to stakeholders across functional areas. They were also dealing with multiple reporting platforms inherited due to acquisitions, making it tough for the IT team to provide timely support. The client needed to design a high performing central data repository that would be open to future integrations and drive self-service analytics through an enterprise-level analytics platform.
SOLUTION
The Ironside Information Management team designed and implemented an enterprise data warehouse from multiple source systems to integrate cross functional and brand data across the Americas region. The solution included:
Assess the Architecture
Discovery & Analysis
Design & Develop
Mentor & Collaborate
KEYS TO SUCCESS
With the new data warehouse implementation, the client achieved the following benefits:
“We can easily write automated reports without any help from IT teams, and we trust the data too.”
“Earlier my month end report took over 3 hours, but with the new data warehouse it runs in under 15 minutes.”
