Impact on customer data & business analytics initiatives

• A German insurance company used Rocket DataEdge to modernize its data from business-critical mainframe applications to access complete data sets for business analytics. The company realized 99.9% uptime during the project, 50% faster project completion timeline, and a 75% reduction in training time for teams after completion. The analytics team experienced streamlined data access and more complete data insights, which enabled the self-sufficiency and intelligence that accelerated modernization and drove business value.
• A large financial institution used Rocket DataEdge to unlock critical mainframe data for real-time analytics in their data lake. They significantly reduced mainframe costs with DataEdge’s efficient, log-based CDC approach, powered more complete insight, and enabled numerous new data-driven business opportunities previously too resource-intensive on the mainframe.
• A leading financial services firm used Rocket DataEdge to combine real-time mainframe data with external data sources to drive more accurate analytics and eliminate slow, risky, and costly ETL processes. The firm can now easily create, update, or expand applications and services, significantly speeding time to market and customer value while maintaining the security and privacy of their customers’ information.

“In less than one year, Rocket DataEdge has proven to be a key driver for enterprises to modernize data integration and access without disrupting the core systems that run their business,” said Michael Curry, President of Data Modernization at Rocket Software. “The recognition Rocket DataEdge has received in such a short time, combined with the results customers are already seeing, is quite remarkable and reflects the platform’s ability to deliver real-world value today while laying the groundwork for continued innovation as enterprises drive their futures with AI, analytics, and data strategies.”
