From data silos to one scalable data lake
How Adroitent modernized the BI ecosystem of a leading American employment services provider — consolidating fragmented Oracle databases into a centralized data lake powering 190+ Tableau reports and dashboards.
The inflection pointA BI ecosystem that couldn't scale
The customer is a globally renowned American provider of employment services connecting people and jobs — transforming the recruiting industry for over 30 years with intelligent digital, social and mobile solutions. Their existing data infrastructure needed transformation to support growing analytics demands.
- Fragmented data sources: data distributed across multiple Oracle databases, creating inefficiencies in analytics processes
- Complex reporting requirements: the existing system supported over 190 reports and dashboards, needing a streamlined approach for future scalability
- Lack of centralized architecture: a consolidated data lake was needed as a robust, scalable foundation for Tableau-based analytics
Analytics can't scale on fragmented foundations.
