Case Study: Dell Inc. achieves faster insights and streamlined data preparation with Quest's Toad Data Point

Marketing Team Automates Data Prep For Faster Insights

Dell’s Global Marketing Center of Excellence faced a growing bottleneck: analysts relied on IT to pull and prep data from the Teradata Data Lab, producing static reports that took days or weeks to yield insights. With rising data volumes and diverse database technologies, the team needed a self-service, easy-to-use solution to speed access, improve internal customer service and get business users closer to the data.

The team implemented Toad Data Point to connect, profile, transform and automate queries across relational and nonrelational sources. The solution streamlined day-to-day prep, enabled drag-and-drop querying for noncoders, improved monitoring of user jobs and capacity, and freed up resources — allowing the team to deliver actionable guidance and insights within hours instead of days or weeks.
