Cloud Pak for Data with Netezza

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We advise many of our clients on the best ways to process ETL and Analytics, quickly, and efficiently. CP4D has been around for many years and we have implemented this for many organizations. It solves most bottlenecks clients have for processing in a very cost effective and reliable environment. Clients can also process jobs within seconds where it would previously take days. This offers a platform to organizations allowing them to change their business models. For example, a large financial institution in Canada would normally score their customers in 45 hours. With CP4D with Netezza, the same scoring job completes in 15 seconds. Now customers can be scored daily. This same story can be seen at hundreds of other clients we support. There is nothing else like it on the market at such a competitive price on premise or in the cloud.
