Building a future-ready data architecture

Accenture helped a global collaboration technology company with an architecture that enabled scalable and trusted reporting of business metrics.

Overview

Strategy and solution

The team conducted detailed interviews with data owners and gathered intelligence from other stakeholders to establish the true “as is” state of the company’s data management.

By pulling all the data from the data lake and putting it into a new data store, the team were able to radically simplify and streamline the reporting and make the ad hoc analysis far faster.

Choosing Snowflake meant the ability to perform simultaneous data loading and computation, a feature not found in any other data warehouse solution and a significant boost for productivity and efficiency.

The team also developed a set of recommendations for a mature data management model, including data hygiene factors and a data governance board.
