Case Study: Zions Bancorporation achieves simplified BI and reduced costs with Quest's Toad Data Point

Banking Company Accesses All Its Data With One Tool

Zions Bancorporation, a Salt Lake City–based bank holding company with $47 billion in assets, more than 500 branches and roughly 10,670 employees, faced a fragmented BI environment: critical data lived across Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, DB2 and other platforms, forcing data staff to juggle multiple, limited built‑in tools that increased licensing costs and reduced productivity. The company needed a single, data‑focused tool to query, join, export and report across all sources.

Zions adopted Toad Data Point from Quest, gaining one familiar, multi‑platform interface with fast export/import wizards and minimal training overhead. The tool replaced platform‑specific utilities, simplified BI workflows, reduced licensing and maintenance burdens, and boosted data‑team productivity by an estimated 33%, saving hours on routine tasks.
