Near-Real-Time Data-to-Insights Cloud Platform for a Global Networking Technology Leader

Client

A multinational digital communications technology conglomerate that develops networking hardware, software, telecommunications equipment, and other technology services and products.

Challenges

The client used multiple financial data platforms such as Snowflake, HANA, TERADATA, Hadoop, and Tableau. Access to the data was cumbersome and time-consuming owing to undefined processes. There was also an absence of approval workflows, with a bulk of approvals done using email. This caused inconvenience in understanding approval logs and access. 

The client was looking to:

1. Reduce the access, data subscription, and ingestion processing time
2. Automate approval workflows to access data seamlessly
3. Increase confidence in the accuracy of user access to platforms

• Enabled a monitoring process to detect discrepancies in the feeds.
• Enabled tracking of employee movement to manage data access in case of role changes.

Business Benefits
