Case Study: Finanz Informatik Technologie Service achieves detailed NetApp file analytics and accurate customer chargebacks with Catalogic Software ECX

Finanz Informatik Technologie Service - Customer Case Study

Finanz Informatik Technologie Service (FI-TS), an IT outsourcing partner for finance and insurance firms, needed granular, directory-level visibility into NetApp storage so it could accurately calculate customer chargebacks and validate reported usage. Their clients required detailed file analytics—where data lived, file sizes and counts, and access patterns—to support audits and control storage growth.

Catalogic ECX provided an agentless metadata catalog and analytics engine, indexing over 60 TB and 150M files in about 18 hours and offering directory-level reports and APIs. The solution enabled auditable, accurate chargebacks, easier identification of large or unused data, proactive capacity planning, and stronger customer relationships that increased adoption.
