Executive Summary
Enterprise Data Platform
Objective: The client struggled with fragmented systems, poor scalability, and weak governance, limiting analytics and collaboration. They needed a modern architecture to centralise data, support customer identity resolution, and provide accurate insights for strategic decision-making.
Solution: Eden Smith delivered a cloud-native platform using Azure, Snowflake, Talend, and Power BI, automating ingestion, securing governance, and enabling identity resolution across B2B/B2C data.
Results: The client gained a scalable, cost-efficient platform, seamless cross-department data access, and a future-ready foundation for smarter, faster decisions.
Challenge
Solution
Outcome
Our client faced significant challenges in maintaining and integrating data from multiple internal and external sources. Their existing infrastructure lacked scalability, transparency and robust governance which hindered analytics capabilities and cross departmental collaboration.
The client required modern data architecture that could centralise ingestion, processing and analysis while ensuring security and compliance.
Additionally, they required a solution that would support deterministic and probabilistic identity resolution across B2B and B2C datasets, enabling more accurate insights and strategic decision-making.
The goal was to create a clearer picture of their customers, reduce costs and lay the ground work for long-term value through reusable data assets and smarter decision making.
Integrating Data for Scalability, Security & Smarter Insights
Eden Smtih led the design and implementation of a scalable enterprise data platform built on Azure and Snowflake, with Talend and Power BI for orchestration and visualisation.
This helped our client to bring data from across the business into one central, secure system. Helping the client turn complex data into clear, actionable insights that support faster, smarter decisions.
We focused on building a strong foundation that supports growth and innovation, ensuring data was well-organised, protected and easy to share across various teams.
Our approach introduced smarter ways to match and link customer and business data, giving the client a clearer view of its relationships and performance.
