Challenges
Persol Career wanted to enhance service delivery for both job seekers and organizations. However, increasing data utilization demands highlighted significant challenges due to scattered data warehouses managed by a variety of departments as well as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and on-premises systems. Processing data into a physical data lake using extract, transform, and load (ETL) tools was impractical, due to the high effort, time, and cost. Additionally, Persol Career needed to protect personal information and prevent duplicating data across departments.
Solutions
To address these challenges, Persol Career implemented the Denodo Platform, known for its data virtualization capabilities. It enabled Persol Career to utilize data from different sources without tight coupling, providing a flexible, secure data integration framework. The Denodo Platform facilitated effective governance with detailed permission settings, data masking, and an intuitive data catalog for users to discover and access data. It also provided fine-grained data access control, enabling non-engineer business users to efficiently manage permissions.
Benefits
The Denodo Platform enhanced data sharing efficiency at Persol Career, reducing development time by 90% and cutting processes from 40 hours to 4-5 hours. It streamlined ETL processes, resulting in significant cost savings and reduced administrative workload. The company secured data access through better management of user permissions, facilitating expansive data utilization. This enabled more accurate job matching, significantly improving the overall user experience.
