Challenges
- The customer had built multiple IT and Business systems over the years using disparate legacy technologies
- There was no well-defined data governance and strategy. An attempt to build a data lake to centralize data needed by all systems had run into challenges related to execution and access latency

Outcomes
- Uncovered some 20+ different pain points which were grouped into 6 distinct areas of concern
- Established a data maturity model and identified gaps with respect to the model
- Developed a reference architecture along with a roadmap and timelines for an end-to-end data integration, data management and data governance solution
Technologies Used
- Developed an accurate assessment of data processing and identified pain points through interviews with leaders and stakeholders and collaborative journey mapping
- Developed a data maturity model and carried out detailed gap analysis
- Recommended a complete solution and reference architecture for a data integration tier, a managed data hub, a curated data tier, metadata and governance tier, and a data access tier.
- Presented on-premises, cloud on-premises and hybrid deployment options for the architecture
