Data Extraction
Challenge:
Analysts required to go through IT support to extract data from ERP systems. Queries are standardized, inflexible, and can take up to hours to be executed. Frequently, peaks in queries (e.g. during month-end closing) affect the performance of the ERP system.
Approach:
Real-time data replication of the operational database to a dedicated analytics platform established. Additional source systems added (CRM, HR). Data integration enabled.
Result:
Cost-savings captured through right-sizing of the operational databases. Standardized queries with increased flexibility, access to a wider variety of data, and reduced execution times (up to 95% less).
