The old app overview
The solution
Extensive planning & collaboration
Engaged in thorough planning with CBI, defining project scope and documenting existing business processes.
Agile methodology
Implemented an agile development approach, utilizing the “empowered product team” framework to encourage continuous collaboration and flexibility in response to emerging needs.
Integrated data workflows
Developed a unified platform that integrates data workflows, storage, and quality management into one end-to-end solution.
Data governance & control
Ensured reliable data governance, integrity, and quality control through a centralized system.
Scalable architecture
Focused on building a robust and flexible architecture, positioning the solution to meet both current operational goals and future needs for AI and ML applications.
Summary
CBI's data operations were distributed across various systems and lacked a streamlined, unified view. Data quality control and auditability were challenging, slowing decision-making and hindering advanced analytics potential.
The new Market Information Portal provided a centralized, auditable data source, ensuring data quality, integrity, and accessibility across the organization. The platform's robust data governance capabilities allow CBI to leverage higher-quality data, enhancing operational efficiency and setting a solid foundation for future OLAP, AI, and ML use cases.
The new app overview
“A single pane of glass for data establishes a trusted, unified source of truth, ensuring data integrity and quality. This foundation not only supports efficient operational optimization but also enables reliable information and knowledge extraction, empowering the CBI experts to unlock AI-driven capabilities.”
