Executive Summary

Strategy & Current vs Future State Proposal

Problem Statement

Company data is spread across multiple legacy systems - unseparated from all US entity data with no clear ownership, governance and definition alignment. This leads to:

  • Constant compliance risks by not meeting regulatory obligations, blocking certification accreditation and exposing the business to potential legal liabilities
  • Significant operational overhead on reporting, visibility and analytics, which makes strategic data-driven decisions and innovation close to impossible.
  • Limited reliability on data integrity and accuracy, along with increased costs for maintaining legacy infrastructure.

Proposed Future State

Achieve complete data autonomy on reporting, analytics and governance through strategic Transformation program which brings:

  • Unified Data Platform: Separated and consolidated EU enterprise data into a single cloud solution (Snowflake) with data governance and ownership via Atlan and controlled data ingestion and orchestration via ADF and Fivetran
  • Compliance Readiness: Reliable, compliant, protected and secured data reporting via zero manual effort for operational teams. Focus on business readiness in continuous ISO accreditation
  • Vendor Independence: Establish a vendor-agnostic layer and decouple from vendor systems for analytics to secure reporting continuity regardless of source system changes

Strategic Value

  • Faster Decisions: Enable clear and accurate real-time visibility across all services and customers of the EU business
  • Cost Efficiencies and Compliance: Retirement of legacy data silos and manual processes, delivering compliance-by-design environment.
  • Data-First Business: Regional governance and visibility to empower strategic innovation, automation capabilities, and future AI and MLOps readiness.
