Case Study: an eClinical technology company achieves real-time reporting and 4x cost savings with Sombra

eClinical Technology Company cuts data costs by 50% with Sombra

The eClinical technology company faced significant data challenges, including a costly and inefficient data pipeline that operated at only 70% effectiveness with a two-hour data delay. This made real-time reporting impossible and overloaded their analytics team. They partnered with Sombra, a vendor with expertise in data engineering, to find a modern solution.

Sombra implemented a new data architecture using the AWS stack, including a data lake on S3, a data warehouse on Amazon Redshift, and Apache Spark on EMR for distributed processing. They orchestrated pipelines with Apache Airflow, establishing a three-layer system for high-quality data. This solution delivered by Sombra resulted in 4x cost savings, reduced data sync delays to under two minutes, and achieved 99.9% reliability for their data workflows.
