Case Study: Charter Communications achieves rapid, cost-effective data lake launch with Qlik Catalog (Qlik)

Cutting time to access data Data lake needed for key product launch

Charter Communications, owner of the Spectrum brand, needed faster access to consolidated data to launch new mobile products in a highly saturated market but its existing systems couldn’t deliver the required data within the nine-month timeline.

Charter built a managed data lake to onboard and standardize 200 TB from over 60 sources and used Qlik Catalog to prepare and publish data to analytics and production platforms. The implementation took 60 days (vs. an expected six months), cost 85% less than budgeted for conventional tools, produced a fully cataloged, accessible data lake, and enabled the products to launch on time.
