Highlights
- Data-processing speeds increased by 60%, enabling faster insights and decision-making.
- Infrastructure costs fell by 30%, thanks to cloud-based, scalable architecture that allowed the client to handle larger data volumes without additional hardware investments.
The Challenge
A global retail client of Microsoft partner ABCloudz needed to update its on-premises enterprise data warehouse, which was delaying decision-making processes as a result of slow data processing, storage constraints, and difficulties integrating with modern tools.
The Solution
ABCloudz migrated the client’s enterprise data warehouse from legacy SQL Server 2014 infrastructure to Azure Databricks, implementing a scalable, cloud-based solution with a three-tier data structure.
The Results
- Real-time data-processing capabilities have empowered teams across the client’s global operations to make quicker decisions. Reports that had taken hours to draft under the previous system can now be created in just minutes.
- The ability to access and analyze historical data enhances the client’s capacity for long-term strategic planning and trend analysis.
- Previously, integrating new tools could take several months due to the limitations of the on-premises infrastructure. With the new Azure environment, the client can now implement new tools within a few weeks, significantly accelerating the adoption of advanced analytics and AI-driven solutions.
“With Azure Databricks and other Microsoft technologies, we delivered a solution that not only addressed the client’s immediate needs but also set them up for future growth.”
