Case Study: Vanguard achieves real-time mainframe-to-AWS replication and 30% lower compute costs with Qlik Replicate (Qlik)

Mainframe data replication to AWS Enable modernization with real-time CDC

Vanguard, a global investment firm managing $5.6 trillion for more than 30 million investors, needed to give developers and analytics teams efficient, real-time access to large mainframe datasets to build new AWS-based applications and analytics while reducing query load and costs.

Vanguard implemented Qlik Replicate’s change-data-capture (CDC) to replicate mainframe data into AWS near real time, offloading queries and making data readily available. The solution handles spikes of up to 60 million nightly updates, drove a 200% year‑over‑year increase in cloud platform adoption, and cut compute costs by about 30%.
