Worked with the CDO org to modernize the Global Data Platform, reduce costs, enable governance, and democratize data

Summary

The Client a large Energy technology company, had their sales-reports on Power-BI. The client was reeling under a heavy expenditure onslaught from the usage of AAS cubes.

Approach

The Tredence team took a piece meal approach to deconstruct the problem:

  • The team evaluated multiple Cloud-Data-warehouses on features such as cost, scalability, workload management
  • The technology choice narrowed down to Snowflake after a month-long POT where AAS was replaced by Snowflake and performance was benchmarked by varying workloads and testing
  • The findings were presented to the client technology council and was deliberated at length before the final decision was taken

Key Benefits

  • Snowflake was onboarded as the central CDW, features of Snowflake like, complete separation of compute from storage and auto-scalability based on varying workloads were instrumental in cost reduction
  • Further advanced features like multi-clustered data-warehouses which enabled horizontal scalability improved performance

Results

Icon Boost

Overall reduction in operational cost by ~35% for the same workload

Icon Boost

A slight improvement in performance due to compute horsepower and compression techniques available on snowflake

Icon Boost

Tredence developed its own proprietary snow-flake compute selection accelerator during the process
