Case Studies

USAA

We helped USAA turn around its big data projects and create a data engineering culture

Data problems can become such difficult people problems that soldiers are focused on problems at home instead of being shot at in a war zone.
USAA realized the hard way that data engineers are needed for data scientists to be productive.
A lack of data engineering culture made it difficult for USAA to execute and create ROI for their data.

Airbus

We helped Airbus create a real-time big data project streaming 2+ billion events per day

The system processes 2,000+ messages per second from aircraft all over the world
We used Microsoft Azure-managed services such as Event Hubs and Azure-Managed Kubernetes
The system uses open-source technologies such as Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Apache Avro, and Apache Spark.

Kueski

We mentored Kueski and helped them build a data engineering team from the ground up

The company needed to build a data engineering team for the first time but navigating the hiring process was a challenge
During our 12-month mentoring program, Kueski hired a seasoned data engineering manager, six data engineers, and a product manager

Steelcase

We helped Steelcase migrate its analytics to the cloud. Now their sales consultants can convert 10x more business.

Steelcase had big data problems but lacked the infrastructure to analyze them at scale
Their team of data scientists and engineers knew it was time to migrate to the cloud so they could start building more advanced solutions
The multitude of cloud-based products made it difficult to choose and make a compelling case for senior leadership.
