Data Modernization for a Manufacturing Enterprise
The Challenge
A global manufacturer with 15 production facilities was running its analytics on a 12-year-old on-premise data warehouse. Query performance was degrading, maintenance costs were escalating, and the platform couldn't support modern AI/ML workloads.
Before Saks Tech
The legacy Oracle warehouse took 6+ hours for nightly ETL. Simple queries took minutes. No support for streaming data. The data team spent 70% of their time on maintenance rather than analytics.
Our Solution
Saks Tech led a phased migration to a modern cloud data lakehouse architecture, preserving all existing reports while enabling new analytical capabilities. We implemented incremental data loading, real-time streaming, and self-service data access.
Results Delivered
“The migration was the smoothest large-scale infrastructure project we've ever done. Our data team is finally building analytics instead of fixing pipelines.”
