Case Study
Data collection platform
Project scope
Our client
The Company is operated in North America and has been the leading provider of strategic data and analytical solutions for the agriculture, crop protection and animal health industry for almost 30 years.
The challenge
They were using and maintaining multiple legacy systems and custom applications to collect, cleanse and analyse sales, product, and customer data from thousands of sources across the US and Canada.
These systems consisted of hundreds of databases, over 20 web portals and countless SSIS packages, stored procedures and custom workflows which were maintained and operated by multiple teams in 3 different geographic locations.
Those systems were storing and processing redundant data and contained duplicated inefficient manual processes for transforming and cleansing incoming data resulting in costly data quality issues.
An enormous amount of time had to be spent to integrate, modify and support those systems.
Onboarding new customers required creation of new databases, configuration changes in multiple systems and applications and the process was taking weeks. Initial historical data loads could take days.
