Case Study: Cerebos Australia achieves faster financial reporting with IBM Db2 BLU Acceleration

Cerebos Australia - Customer Case Study

Cerebos Australia, part of the Suntory-owned Cerebos Pacific group, needed faster and more reliable financial reporting as data volumes grew and monthly board-level reports began taking hours or even days to produce. Using IBM Db2 and IBM BLU Acceleration, the company faced serious reporting bottlenecks, manual tuning demands, and timeouts that slowed business insight.

IBM helped Cerebos Australia upgrade to IBM Db2 v11.1 and convert key financial data to column-oriented tables to take advantage of BLU Acceleration. The result was 5x faster analytics performance, report generation dropping from 4 minutes 13 seconds to 47 seconds in testing, a 20% faster data warehouse load time, and a 10% reduction in DBA workload by eliminating index management.
