What happened
The story in brief
One of the largest banks in the Netherlands was held back by an on-premises warehouse and teams working in isolation across hundreds of data sources. It moved to Azure Databricks with a domain-oriented data mesh, giving several hundred engineers, analysts and data scientists one shared platform for reporting, marketing personalization and fraud models.
How it compares
- 10x faster time to market: use cases deployed in 2 months, against a median speed-up of 5x across 8 financial services results.
