Optimizing Cloud Data Engineering for a Global Enterprise

A global enterprise faced increasing pressure to modernize its data infrastructure and reduce operational costs. The company needed to unify data from multiple ERPs and business systems, optimize transformation processes, and support real-time analytics. Their existing setup lacked scalability, resulting in high storage expenses and slow access to insights.

Challenge

Legacy data pipelines and fragmented systems made it difficult for the client to make timely decisions and operate efficiently. They needed a scalable, pay-per-use cloud platform to streamline data workflows and boost performance.

Inefficient Data Workflows

High costs from inefficient data storage and transformation workflows, and long query times delaying business intelligence reporting

Integration and Real-Time Visibility Challenges

Difficulty integrating data from multiple ERP and PoS sources, and limited real-time insight into operations due to system latency

Solution

Innovation Strategy

Entrans implemented a cloud-native, AWS-based data engineering platform designed for real-time performance and cost efficiency. The solution focused on automating data integration, transformation, and querying across multiple source systems.

Collaborative Approach

Our teams worked closely with the client’s IT and BI stakeholders across a three-phase execution roadmap—from architecture design to transformation workflows and full-scale deployment.

Key Initiatives

  • Architected a curated data lake using Amazon S3
  • Used Amazon Redshift for fast analytics and query processing
  • Integrated Amazon EMR for semi-structured data transformations
  • Enabled Athena for efficient, serverless querying
  • Built automated pipelines using GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and Octopus Deploy

Business Transformation

The client now operates on a centralized, real-time data platform with reduced infrastructure overhead. With fast, reliable insights, business teams can respond quickly to trends and opportunities.

Future-Ready

With scalable cloud infrastructure and real-time querying in place, the organization is now positioned to roll out predictive analytics, AI-driven dashboards, and enterprise-wide data products.

API Subscription

Streamlining API Acquisition and Management with Subscriptions Image Content

The Subscriptions Image Content feature makes acquiring APIs more straightforward by offering users a seamless, visual interface to browse and subscribe to various APIs. This functionality eliminates the complexity of traditional API subscription processes, making it easier for users to integrate APIs into their systems quickly. In addition to simplified access, this feature provides users with powerful tools to monitor and track their API usage. Through detailed metrics and insights, users can view API call volumes, performance statistics, and cost data, enabling them to manage consumption effectively. This transparency empowers users to optimise their API usage, control expenses, and ensure resources are utilized efficiently over time. By offering both ease of access and robust tracking capabilities, the Subscriptions Image Content feature helps users make informed decisions and gain deeper insights into how APIs contribute to their operations, ultimately improving overall resource management and project outcomes.
