Case Study: United Rentals achieves 100% replication reliability and 75% reduction in resource overhead with Precisely Connect

United Rentals - Customer Case Study

United Rentals, a Stamford-based equipment rental company, struggled for years with dual replication from their IBM i source to two Teradata environments: their CDC/data replication would crash on brief network outages, causing nightly data warehouse builds and executive scorecards to fail and leaving gaps that eroded business confidence. To address this without changing their tested architecture, they evaluated solutions and selected Precisely’s Connect data integration/CDC product.

Precisely implemented Connect to provide resilient, automated replication that recovers from network or hardware outages and resumes from the correct position with no human intervention. The result: 100% more reliable data, a 75% reduction in resource overhead, tens of thousands of dollars saved annually, and a 10% increase in corporate productivity — with United Rentals’ validation checks consistently proving data integrity.
