Case Study: a top 10 financial services company achieves 100X faster analytics with Yellowbrick Data Platform

Top-10 Financial Services Company Unlocks Data Lake Insights for 1000s of Users

The financial services company, a top 10 firm in its industry, faced significant challenges with its legacy data platforms, including Netezza, DB2, and Apache Hive. These disparate systems could not support thousands of users running mixed workloads on its massive transactional data, leading to slow performance, negative user experiences, and high management complexity. They needed a single modern data platform from a vendor like Yellowbrick Data to meet their stringent requirements for speed, scalability, and price/performance.

The company selected the Yellowbrick Data Platform after a successful proof-of-concept. Implementing Yellowbrick resulted in queries running up to 100 times faster at a fraction of the cost, with five years of transaction data now available for analysis. Data load times improved 30x, and the firm achieved significant data center savings. Yellowbrick enabled faster decision-making across the business and is now the analytics platform of record for key financial use cases.
