Case Study: Dun & Bradstreet boosts processing performance and cuts costs with Ocient on Google Cloud

Dun & Bradstreet re-platforms from a legacy Netezza and mainframe solution to Ocient on Google Cloud

Dun & Bradstreet, a leading global provider of business decisioning data, faced the challenge of end-of-support for its legacy Netezza and mainframe systems. Seeking to modernize its data infrastructure for cost savings and performance improvements, the company needed to re-platform massive, complex, and mission-critical workloads to Google Cloud Platform.

Ocient implemented its Hyperscale Data Warehouse as a Service on Google Cloud, providing a powerful SQL-based solution tailored to Dun & Bradstreet's specific requirements. The Ocient team managed the entire migration, resulting in a 96.3% reduction in processing time and over $3.4 million in projected cost savings. The new system achieved 99.992% uptime with zero business disruption, enabling faster delivery of products and new revenue opportunities.
