Global Financial Services Organization Turns to ER/Studio for High-Performance Data Modeling

Challenge

A senior data architect for a global financial services corporation needed a robust data modeling solution that could help his organization deliver high quality systems at a faster pace, and make data more readily available and easy to use. The organization’s IT environment comprises several thousand databases across a complex, multi-platform environment including SQL Server, IBM Db2 z/OS, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Hadoop. At any given time these databases support over 2,000 applications ranging from accounts receivable, sales and marketing, and human resources, to lending products, credit cards, and vendor/partner tools. A team of approximately 100 database admins and data architecture professionals serve as the focal/control point for production releases and hand-off to the operations team for day-to-day oversight of databases after release.
