Background
Our client, an American payment processor operating nationwide, required assistance with migrating their data from the current Oracle Exa-data based platform called BDA to a cloud-based platform utilizing AWS and Snowflake technology stack. Their aim was to overcome the challenges associated with maintenance, scalability, and data availability while optimizing performance.
Current Challenges
Maintenance: The existing system, which was nearly 8 years old, presented difficulties in maintenance due to lack of support, high costs, and outdated connectivity with modern platforms.
Scalability: Different lines of business within the organization had varying volumes of data and distinct needs. The current infrastructure lacked the ability to scale up and down according to different scenarios on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Data Availability & Performance: Reporting and consolidation processes were predominantly manual, consuming valuable time. This limited business users’ ability to access data for independent analysis.
