Colliers International chooses TimeXtender®
To be able to combine all its data and increase its reliability and quality, Colliers International went looking for an ETL specialist. ETL specialists turned out to be scarce and expensive, though. In that search, the company came into contact with E-mergo and with TimeXtender. After a number of conversations and a 'Proof of Concept', Colliers International decided to implement TimeXtender as a modern data management platform.
The Result
No ETL specialist needed
Thanks to TimeXtender, developing and managing a modern data warehouse is possible without needing to hire an ETL developer. Because TimeXtender generates automated SSIS scripts, developing and managing the platform stays simple.
New revenue models
TimeXtender integrates multiple data sources and different types of data sources, allowing new information products for the business and for clients to be delivered faster. With TimeXtender, for example, a new revenue model was also created, since clients can now also be provided with dashboards.
Automation
TimeXtender systematically cleans up data and automatically generates documentation, lineage and full traceability. It's also possible to easily switch to a hybrid or fully cloud environment in Microsoft Azure at a later stage.
“So we want to build a platform we can keep working with for years, one that doesn't have to be completely redesigned every two years. A platform where we can build processes that are fast, easy, cheap and not error-prone, and therefore require little maintenance. With TimeXtender, we have a future-proof data management platform.”
