Growth through acquisition means that a business will bring together multiple sources of data that were previously unrelated and uncommunicated. When this happens, the need for an integrated, streamlined single source of data will become apparent. As it grew and acquired its competitors, our client, an $8 Billion Advertising and Marketing firm, found itself needing to rethink its digital core approach to adapt to it’s evolving business environment.
With the company becoming more powerful and successful, the Firm had moved to the next step of corporate growth: acquisitions. While this was obviously a positive move, it presented its own set of challenges. Analytics play a crucial role in the company’s decision-making process, and their existing application’s footprint had become fragmented with the arrival of new sources of data. They needed to ensure a seamless sharing and flow of data among applications, people, processes, things, and platforms for accurate analytics and reporting across the organization. Their agencies were also struggling with access to the data needed to manage resource and projects on time.
GROM was committed to delivering a best-of-breed solution with full support from GROM’s staff. We provided IT resources for project management, cloud architecture, data modeling, security, and Basis support, working with client’s IT resources for the analytics application interfaces and data mapping. We applied proven project management principles and industry best practices, defining a business team with specific roles and responsibilities throughout the project. This approach helped us architect and implement a secure, flexible, and scalable SAP® Cloud Platform HANA solution in less than 5 months. The company’s end-users now had unified, timely, and continuous access to their data, analytics applications, and reporting system that worked across all of its branches of business.
Apart from building a new platform that eased the integration of their analytics applications and data, the company received a solution that is subscription-based, yields no IT maintenance costs, and is fully scalable as more internal and external solutions are added. This SAP® Cloud Platform implementation significantly improved performance for various analytics applications while having no negative impact on those existing enterprise solutions, reducing time to market and optimizing costs.
