Challenge
The objectives of the project were very clear: to have operating profit and support to the business area. And consequently, solve a series of problems generated by connecting to the transactional database that generated slow data processing, delay in making information available, ingestion of poorly structured data and generation of repeated data.
These difficulties caused slowness and delay in the generation of various reports that strongly impacted the daily decision-making of the trading area, which are based on information from international financial quotes.
What has been proposed
To create the necessary data structure and achieve the customer’s objectives, Dedalus proposed the creation of a reference architecture contemplating the best practices according to Snowflake and made available its Center of Excellence (CoE) and its experts to perform an assisted POC, where the customer also had the support of Snowflake during the execution of the transactional database ingestion tests, processing time and data extraction from Power BI to dashboard creation.

The evaluation is to seek an increase in the quality of results in time efficiency, volume of the quantity of commodities and values involved in decisions.
