Who are Informa?
Informa D&B are a leading business information and credit scoring company in Spain, Portugal, and Colombia and are part of the Dun & Bradstreet network.
The problem:
Processing the 1.7 billion+ rows of its marketing database used to take Informa over 27 hours. This left them exposed to failures as there was no time to repeat the process. Reducing the duration of this process became a top priority.
The solution:
Migrating from Oracle to LeanXcale.
Result:
The process now runs 72 times faster. The operational risk was reduced because the process can be executed daily. Informa signed an Unlimited License Agreement to use LeanXcale in new use cases.
