OPPORTUNITY

Kickdrum retired expensive legacy applications and infrastructure leveraging AWS tools and services to accelerate the project.

RESULTS

Methodical migration to consolidate databases

Kickdrum mapped and migrated data from seven disparate databases into a single, consolidated data source using AWS Glue. To ensure specific steps could be re-run when anomalies were detected, Kickdrum built a workflow leveraging Lambdas and DynamoDB to track and correct migration state.

Scalable data warehouse for better decision making

Kickdrum designed a scalable star schema data warehouse to support multiple customers simultaneously. This enables OEC and its customer to interrogate and report on data from a single source of truth, improving business intelligence and accelerating data modeling.

Reducing waste and maintenance costs

Kickdrum consolidated seven production applications and databases into a single, less expensive cloud instance. Kickdrum also helped OEC reduce operational costs by implementing a mechanism to shutdown non-production environments outside of working hours.

“The teams were able to pull together and complete a tremendous amount of work in a short time.”
