Powering Innovation: Cloud Migration & BI Transformation for a Leading Fintech Company
Client Overview
In the bustling digital economy of Southeast Asia, seamless transactions are the lifeblood of modern mobility. At the forefront of this revolution is the client—a trailblazer in contactless payments, empowering public transit networks and diverse sectors nationwide. With over 40 million contactless cards in circulation, they have transformed how people move and redefined convenience for millions. Given the scale of their operations and the large volume of daily transactions, a real-time understanding of their business was crucial. However, their existing traditional database system (Oracle) could not efficiently handle real-time data retrieval.
Fintech Leader Tackled Database Limitations to Unlock Real-Time Insights
Key Requirement:
Design and develop effective data archiving and load balancing for the query load.
Build and validate the connectors to the various data sources that would feed into the Data Warehouse.
Additional responsibilities included moving data from an on-premises setting to the cloud (from Oracle to Azure SQL DW).
Create customized reports and dashboards based on key performance indicators (KPIs) using real-time data.
Seamless Cloud Shift
Indium designed and implemented a robust, highly scalable Data Warehouse ecosystem to meet the client’s growing data storage and processing demands. This modern architecture was tailored to efficiently handle large volumes of transactional and analytical data efficiently, ensuring seamless data integration, faster processing speeds, and enhanced reliability.
By leveraging advanced data management techniques, Indium enabled the client to centralize and streamline their data operations, paving the way for real-time analytics, improved decision-making, and overall business agility. We successfully achieved the desired result by implementing the following steps:
Implementation of NiFi
Indium utilized NiFi to obtain near real-time data for the Data Warehouse.
Leveraging Azure BLOB for data archiving and staging
Indium efficiently archived and staged the data using Azure BLOB, ensuring effective data management.
Bulk loading data to Azure SQL DW
The data generated through contactless payment cards was bulk loaded from Azure BLOB to Azure SQL DW to handle the significant data traffic resulting from day-to-day transactions.
Data aggregation for data visualization
Indium implemented an additional layer in the Data Warehouse to aggregate the data, making it easier to present and visualize using Power BI.
Transforming Business Operations with a Scalable Data Warehouse Ecosystem
The deployment of the advanced Data Warehouse ecosystem by Indium brought substantial business benefits, revolutionizing the client’s data management capabilities. By overcoming the limitations of their legacy system, the new solution enabled seamless data integration, real-time analytics, and improved operational efficiency. This transformation empowered the client with,
Improved data visualization quality
The Data Warehouse resulted in an 80% improvement in the quality of data visualization, enabling better insights and decision-making.
Cost reduction
Migrating a large volume of data from Oracle to SQL Server using open-source ETL tools led to a 30% cost reduction.
Enhanced performance
Performance tuning of the ETL jobs reduced overall processing time by 50%, improving data processing efficiency and timeliness
Secure data recovery
The efficient archival capabilities enabled by the cloud environment and the implementation of alert systems ensured data recovery was secure. This allowed for quick action in disaster recovery scenarios.
