Business Required :
The client was operating with a legacy data platform that supported business reporting, analytics, operational extracts, and downstream data consumption. Over time, the existing system became difficult to scale and maintain. Data pipelines had performance bottlenecks, reporting dependencies were tightly coupled with legacy processing, and production support required significant manual intervention.
The business required a modern data platform that could:
Handle growing retail data volumes.
Improve data processing performance.
Enable faster analytics and reporting.
Reduce manual operational effort.
Improve data quality and validation.
Provide secure access control.
Support future business intelligence and advanced analytics.
Establish proper monitoring and production support processes.
