A global engineering company that works extensively with the US Federal Government contracts needed its Oracle E-Business Suite applications to comply with NIST SP 800-171 Cybersecurity Guidelines. This regulation required the firm to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) for its existing Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) systems.
When off-the-shelf solutions exceeded the firm’s budget, Pythian designed an affordable Oracle EBS SSO solution fully compliant with government regulations. It was integrated into the firm’s existing EBS system in three months, customized to its unique needs, and saved the client 20x to 200x more than alternative solutions. As a result, the organization can now take on more US Federal Government contracts and has experienced increased employee satisfaction with an elegant solution for SSO and MFA.
Pythian helps a content network create a 360° view of customer experience An online content network wanted to improve its analytics capabilities by migrating their on-premises Teradata data warehouse to the cloud. Pythian designed and implemented the solutions.
Since its founding decades ago, a major US online content network has grown from relatively humble beginnings into a media heavyweight with over 1.5 billion viewers per year. The company earns more than $500M in annual revenue from entertainment, music, video games, news, and sports sources.
To improve efficiencies and reduce costs, the online content network needed to migrate their on-premises Teradata data warehouse to the public cloud and improve their analytics capabilities to provide a 360-degree view of customer experience. They chose Google Cloud as the basis for their new data hub because of the significant cost savings associated with not managing on-premises hardware and software, while it also enabled them to stay current with the latest technology without requiring in-house time and expertise. For their analytics engine, they chose Google BigQuery. The challenge was to determine how to prepare and migrate multi-source customer data from their Teradata data warehouse to Google BigQuery data analytics warehouse, while also integrating all their data sources in the new data hub.
They needed a partner with expertise in Google Cloud Platform, migrations from legacy systems, data analytics, and all the tools needed to build a pipeline for the data transfer. The partner also needed to be able to both design and implement a customized analytics solution.
With unrivalled experience in migration planning and implementation, data analytics, and all the tools and required expertise, Pythian was uniquely qualified to act as advisor and resource hub.
Pythian’s experience with migrations and analytics solutions, plus technical expertise in the selected technologies, resulted in a flexible and cost-efficient data analytics solution. In Google BigQuery the cost of storage and compute are kept separate, and on-demand pricing enables the customer to pay for only the storage and compute they use. Query response time is also better with Google BigQuery than Teradata, and BigQuery can adapt to any data type or format, plus convert formats, without additional charges. Higher performance, increased flexibility, and lowered costs nwith an effective analytics solution 360-degree view of customer experience delivers an irreplaceable competitive advantage
Pythian’s custom SSO solution for EBS saves clients up to 200x more compared to competing solutions, and is capable of being implemented on-premises or in the cloud. With minimal raw operational costs, no additional licensing costs, federation services support, it is easily integrated with Azure SSO. The global engineering firm experienced several benefits, including:
No matter your business, no matter the challenge: Pythian’s solutions drive results.
