The Challenge
EQ Bank, known for its high-interest savings accounts and seamless digital experience, was facing a data bottleneck. Their on-premise legacy data warehouse was struggling to handle the volume of transactions from their rapidly growing customer base. Daily reporting jobs were taking 4+ hours, often failing and delaying critical business insights.
Our Solution
Delta Data Tech partnered with EQ Bank to execute a complete data platform modernization. We chose Snowflake as the target data cloud due to its separation of storage and compute.
- Migration: Migrated 50TB of historical transaction data from Oracle to Snowflake.
- Pipeline Engineering: built robust ELT pipelines using dbt (data build tool) and Fivetran to automate data ingestion from core banking systems.
- Governance: Implemented Row-Level Security (RLS) and dynamic data masking to ensure PII compliance.
The Outcome
The results were transformative. Daily reporting time was slashed from 4 hours to 15 minutes. The data engineering team, freed from maintenance toil, shifted focus to high-value analytics.
Key Metrics
- 40% Faster data processing speed.
- 99.9% Data pipeline uptime.
- $200k Annual infrastructure cost savings.
