Case Study: Schmidt Groupe supports omnichannel growth with CGI and Google Cloud data repositories

Schmidt Groupe modernizes omnichannel data management in 3 years with CGI

Schmidt Groupe, a furniture retailer, sought to modernize its IT infrastructure to support a more omnichannel approach for its customers, whose shopping journeys had become non-linear with multiple entry points. To retain its market position, the company needed to implement new technologies, specifically an API management solution and a central data repository. They partnered with vendor CGI and chose Google Cloud's Apigee and BigQuery for the project.

CGI worked with Schmidt Groupe to ensure a smooth implementation by hosting workshops to define the target architecture and design new data models. The solution provided greater visibility over services and data flows, making it easier to troubleshoot applications. The implementation also helped secure the company's data and web services while standardizing development across the group. Schmidt Groupe is now looking forward to enriching its implementation with new data repositories to further support its omnichannel ambitions.
