Client
Our client is a leading manufacturing company with a global presence, operating through more than 10 subsidiaries, each maintaining its own data in a variety of systems, including Dynamics Navision, Dynamics 365, SAP, relational databases, API-based, and streaming data sources. They approached our IT company seeking a modern, scalable, and cloud-native Data Warehouse solution to centralize their data, enable better insights, and support data-driven decision-making.
Challenges
The client faced several challenges in managing and analyzing data dispersed across various systems. Some key challenges included:
Data Fragmentation: Data was spread across on-premises and cloud systems, making it difficult to consolidate and gain a unified view.
Data Integration: Integrating data from diverse sources with varying data formats and structures was complex and time-consuming.
Scalability: The solution needed to accommodate the company's continuous growth and future data requirements efficiently.
