Our client is one of the largest automotive financial institutions worldwide. For the last 10 years we`ve collaborated on a huge variety on IT and business projects, including the fields of project management, business analysis and data governance.
Our Client’s context
In one of our projects, we recently supported our client to implement a centralized Data Warehouse for risk reporting, as both national and international financial and regulatory reporting standards were to be complied.
With our teams of experts, we`ve helped our client to react and implement short-term to requirement changes, by forming flexible but sustainable project processes.
Our collaboration over the years
Since 2016, we have been supporting the development of the data warehouse for the central risk and data management of our client.
In particular, we did collaborate in:
- Requirements engineering
- Technical support
- Test support
Since 2018, we have been supporting the national subsidiaries in the worldwide implementation and adaption of the annual data model releases. Doing so, we put much effort in improving the international project management.
In parallel, our business analysts have been supporting the BI competence center in the technical expansion, as well as the optimization of the data warehouse application.
