Company Background
As a retail fraud analytics processing firm, this organization is an industry leader in transaction optimization solutions at both the point of sale and point of return. They work hard to prevent retail fraud and abuse, and protect the bottom line by helping businesses deliver better customer shopping experiences.
Objectives
In order to catch and prevent retail fraud activities, this organization has an established SLA in place with each of its clients, requiring them to process and register transactions within one hour. The analytics environment that supported this process was plagued with inefficiencies that led to long processing times and missing SLA deadlines.
Resolutions
Destiny Corporation evaluated their analytics environment and the critical functions needed to enhance and eliminate long processing times. A new MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) solution was designed and set into action. Analytics jobs went from 69 hours down to 15 minutes in the new environment.
Benefits
Companies can now process and register transactions within specified time constraints, eliminating costs associated with missing SLA deadlines. Fraudulent activities are reported to clients on a consistent and timely basis without issue.
Company Background
This Fortune 500 retail anchor store sells domestic household goods with a focus on bed and bath items.
Objectives
The Business’ IT department was predominately centered on Teradata appliances. This environment needed to be expanded to accommodate the growing amount of analytics processing being done. However, the cost of these upgrades are prohibitive, and kept this organization’s analytics processing at inefficient levels.
Resolutions
Destiny Corporation evaluated their environment and analytics capacity. A cost efficient MPP solution was tested and analytics processing fine-tuned. The company’s processing times decreased from 14 hours to 55 minutes.
Benefits
The new configurations and customized analytic environment drastically reduced both IT spend and analytics processing times, providing this business with tremendous cost savings and ease of IT maintenance.
