Internal Revenue Service achieves 88% metadata automation with Brillient Corporation

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) needed assistance integrating data from over 20 different source systems into its Compliance Data Warehouse. Brillient Corporation was awarded contracts to help the agency manage this big data effort, which included integrating a decade of tax return data from various legacy systems.

Brillient implemented a solution involving extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) processes, data enrichment, and modeling. A key development was the Metadata Automator tool. This solution achieved an 88% automation rate for the IRS, significantly reducing manual steps. It also saved the agency approximately $5 million in consulting costs and provided analysts with better tools to combat fraud and improve efficiency.
