1. Project Overview
1. Real-Time Analytics Modernization
Denodo virtualization unlocked real-time reporting for a multi-line financial services firm whose analysts were limited to aging batch marts. The program delivered a governed semantic layer that compresses data availability from hours to seconds without rewriting upstream systems.
Highlights
- Implemented a unified semantic layer spanning risk, treasury, and customer channels with Denodo adaptive caching.
- Delivered executive dashboards in Tableau and Cognos backed by the same virtualization views to ensure consistency.
- Established an operational playbook for curating high-value datasets and retiring redundant shadow marts.
Datasets Virtualized120+ across 8 domains
Latency Target< 5 seconds for tier-1 dashboards
Primary PlatformsDenodo, Oracle, SQL Server, REST APIs
Case Study Spotlight
Frontline Risk Dashboards Go Real Time
Risk managers previously reconciled overnight CSV drops to understand intraday exposures. Virtualization surfaced the same metrics in near real time, eliminating manual stitching across departments.
Key Moves
- Modeled canonical risk measures with Denodo views that normalized source-specific terminology.
- Enabled progressive caching tuned to risk desk refresh intervals without breaking regulatory data retention.
- Delivered spotlight demos with risk leadership to validate alert thresholds before rollout.
Business Impact
- Risk dashboards refresh every 90 seconds with zero manual reconciliation steps.
- Treasury team retired three legacy ETL flows and 14 unmanaged Access databases.
- Supervisory control sign-off achieved on the first audit walkthrough.
