Case Study: PROS achieves faster, scalable pricing analytics with Microsoft Azure HDInsight

PROS - Customer Case Study

PROS, a large professional services company, needed to overcome the challenge of processing multiple terabytes of data to perform complex, dynamic pricing calculations for its clients. Its previous proprietary compute platform was inefficient and could not scale to meet growing data processing demands, which was essential for delivering accurate and competitive pricing recommendations. To address this, PROS turned to Microsoft and adopted Azure HDInsight.

By implementing Microsoft's Azure HDInsight, PROS gained a cloud-based Apache Spark solution specializing in large-scale data analytics. This provided the speed, scalability, and high availability the company required. Results were dramatic, with some processes that previously took several days being reduced to just minutes. This measurable improvement in processing speed allowed PROS to offer more sophisticated, real-time pricing analysis to its clients, freeing up staff resources and ensuring critical business continuity with a 99.9% SLA.
