Situation

Our Client was challenged with addressing siloed, duplicated and inconsistent data sets across business functions, business units, and markets limiting the enterprise from realizing data-driven strategic and operational performance enhancements

Volume, variety and velocity of data across structured, unstructured, internal, external, streaming, IoT, web and mobile was far exceeding capabilities of legacy tools and architecture hindering innovation

Significant resource-heavy manual intervention was required to cleanse and prepare data across the organization’s complete portfolio leading to delayed reporting cycles which only provided outdated insights

Inconsistent metric and attribute definitions, ad-hoc data governance, and known data quality issues reduced business confidence and usage of analytics across the enterprise

Approach

Over the years, Cervello has been engaged as a strategic partner, providing architecture strategy and development execution across end-to-end data and advanced analytics capabilities, leveraging both AWS and the Microsoft Azure cloud platforms

Designed a flexible, robust and scalable architecture – actively processing over 500 individual source systems with hundreds of thousands of data sets. Proving a global footprint to address the needs of over 80 countries, varied and expansive source systems, external data providers, data formats, and languages

Drive core design and development activities across dozens of parallel projects, business functions, markets and technologies, partnering with our client on strategic data-driven transformations. Engaged across the organization, deploying between 3 to 8 analytic PODs to enable business objectives through data driven solutions

Addressing strategic cloud provider changes, such as a move from AWS to Azure ensuring interoperability and modularity throughout the architecture. Current key architecture components include: DataBricks, Power BI, Azure Data Warehouse, Azure Data Factory, Talend, Einstein Analytics, and R
