This high-volume vehicle distributor saw steady growth, but at a certain point the company needed to modernize its data infrastructure. It was composed of legacy systems, many of which were siloed, and much of the data was fragmented due to the lack of a unified data access layer. This made it challenging to comply with regulations and maintain consistent governance over the entire data estate.
To meet this need, the company moved its data infrastructure to AWS and leveraged the Denodo Platform on AWS to serve as an AI data layer above the entire data estate. The Denodo Platform provides live, zero-copy data access; data governance and security for any non-AWS data sources; a unified semantic layer across all sources; and a data marketplace, streamlining data access for business users.
As a result, the distributor was able to streamline and accelerate access to all data, while facilitating compliance and enhanced data governance. In addition, the company gained new forecasting capabilities, accelerated time-to-insight, and built a system for provisioning parts and vehicle inventory data over APIs, in real time.
