Challenge

With the increasing volume of data generated by their IoT devices, Contguard needed to efficiently manage and analyze this data while staying focused on innovation and development. They sought a partner who could provide both Big Data and BI expertise, offering a comprehensive solution that included Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) services and professional support under one roof. This approach would allow Contguard to optimize their data operations without diverting resources from their core business priorities.

Solution

Commit initiated a comprehensive modernization of Contguard’s infrastructure on Microsoft Azure, ensuring alignment with Microsoft’s best practices. This modernization effort aimed to enhance scalability, enabling Contguard to efficiently manage growth and evolving operational demands.

On the security front, Commit implemented Palo Alto’s Prisma Cloud, significantly strengthening Contguard’s security framework. This allowed Contguard to maintain a robust and proactive security posture, safeguarding their data and operations against potential vulnerabilities.

In parallel, Commit addressed inefficiencies in Contguard’s existing PowerBI system, optimizing outdated ETL and SSIS processes to improve data handling and reporting capabilities. By refining the BI solution and streamlining data processes, Commit provided Contguard with the tools to generate actionable insights from their data, supporting better decision-making and operational efficiency. This end-to-end solution ensured Contguard is well-equipped to scale securely and effectively in the future.
