Case Study: Sports and Entertainment Company achieves scalable XML data transformation with Cask Data

Sports and Entertainment Company - Customer Case Study

A Sports and Entertainment Company was receiving XML data that its data scientists couldn’t easily query or use in tools like Tableau and R, and the team needed a faster way to adapt as the final table structure evolved. To solve this, the company turned to Cask Data and its Cask Hydrator / CDAP platform to simplify ingesting and transforming the XML into usable data tables.

Cask Data enabled the company to build and copy pipelines without writing MapReduce jobs, making it easier to adjust quickly as requirements changed. The solution was deployed at a fraction of the cost of traditional ETL tools, improved scalability, and future-proofed the data pipeline while giving the team BI access through ODBC and JDBC drivers for better decision-making.
