Case Study: Eaton achieves 4.2x faster reporting and rapid time-to-production with MarkLogic

Eaton Swaps Its RDMBS with MarkLogic for More Accurate, Faster Reporting

Eaton, a $20 billion power management company that grew largely through acquisitions, faced an IT sprawl of more than 100 ERP systems. Its BI team’s initial attempt to build a consolidated Data Lake on a traditional relational database proved inflexible, costly, and unable to deliver the accurate, timely reporting and new-application development the business required.

Eaton replaced the RDBMS with the MarkLogic Data Hub Platform, gaining a flexible, scalable foundation that improved performance by 4.2x and cut delivery time—projects and reports that once took months or years now complete in weeks. The switch delivered faster, more accurate reporting, reduced time to production, and greater agility for the organization.
