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.

Who are CESCE?

CESCE group is the 4th-largest credit and surety group in the world and the 2nd-largest in Spain. They have almost 1,500 employees and, in 2019, the group reported after-tax profits of €22.9 million.

CESCE is the head of the group — they are 50.25% owned by the Spanish State and their shareholders include Banco Santander (23.8%), BBVA (16.3%), and other Spanish banks and insurance companies.

The problem:

CESCE need to know, as accurately as possible, the risk they assume when granting commercial loans. To estimate this risk, CESCE gathered huge amounts of information about their customers but were unable to process all of it because of database limitations.

The solution:

Migrating from Oracle to LeanXcale.

The result:

The maximum indemnity liability calculation is now performed two orders of magnitude faster. This acceleration allows more information to be processed, improves forecasting capacity, and improves the efficiency of calculations.
