Case Study: Bank of America achieves 10-50x faster queries and minutes-long Tableau loads with Vertica

Bank of America - Customer Case Study

Bank of America, a Global 500 banking firm, needed a high-performance analytics platform to replace MySQL, Oracle and Teradata and to support 6–100 TB of data across use cases like ERP/CRM tracking, customer behavior, clickstream and predictive analytics. Slow data loading into Tableau (previously over an hour) and the need to support large-scale concurrent querying drove their evaluation.

They implemented MicroFocus Vertica alongside Informatica and Tableau, gaining standard SQL access, massive scalability, simultaneous loading and querying, in‑database machine learning and high concurrency. The deployment cut Tableau load/query times to minutes, improved query performance 10–50×, and delivered a 51–100% ROI.
