Data Engineer working on Data Lakes to Streamline and Organize Data.

Breaking Data Silos and Maximizing Data Value with Data Lakes

Company

V-Soft Digital worked with a large US-based retail company that was struggling to make agile decisions quickly. The organization struggled because their data was being stored in many separate locations and they were relying on older technologies and legacy systems to organize, store, and analyze that data.

Challenge

The data, systems, platforms, and operations were fragmented into numerous silos, rendering it difficult to gain valuable insights including from unstructured and semi-structured data. The client also lacked the tools to handle larger data sets and was unable to get a unified view of sources and data types.

To reduce cost and improve efficiency, it had become imperative to move to an IT platform that is cloud-driven, consumption-based, and service-oriented.

The V-Soft Digital objective was to provide the client with a solution that stretched across the enterprise from the data center, to the edge, to the cloud.
