Case Study: Office Depot achieves seamless SSAS-to-Snowflake analytics integration with CData

Office Depot Leverages CData to ‘Lift and Shift’ Critical Data and Enable Analytics Integration

Office Depot, the retail and B2B division of The ODP Corporation, needed a way to preserve its existing Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional MDX cubes after migrating its data warehouse to Snowflake. The team wanted to modernize its data platform without rebuilding analytics assets or disrupting reporting for thousands of internal users. CData helped solve this challenge with its ADO.NET Snowflake Data Provider.

Using CData Drivers, Office Depot quickly connected SSAS to Snowflake with an out-of-the-box solution that required no custom development. The implementation took just four weeks and enabled faster cube loading, real-time reporting, and sub-two-second response times for end users. By leveraging CData, Office Depot was able to “lift and shift” critical data to the cloud while minimizing disruption and preserving its existing analytics investment.
