Building a future-ready data architecture: A global manufacturing perspective

Services

Technical strategy & consultation

In the vast and ever-evolving global manufacturing industry, leveraging data solutions stands as a pivotal force driving innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness.

We were approached by a global manufacturer whose complex analytics architecture proved difficult to navigate.

Challenge

The client was faced with a lack of insight into data due to multiple systems, a fragmented architecture, and no unified repository for data analytics.

Solution

Green Leaf led a structured review of the people, processes and technology related to data, and produced an assessment & recommendation document.

Impact

Our work provided the client with a clear understanding of its current state of data analytics and defined an achievable future state for data in the enterprise.

The Challenge

At the center of our client’s challenge was a lack of insight into critical data, primarily due to a fragmented data architecture, the existence of multiple systems without a unified repository for analytics, and no single version of truth across the enterprise.

This, combined with the absence of standardized automation processes and business rules management, led to inconsistent data quality.

The fragmented data landscape not only hindered operational efficiency but also impaired the organization’s ability to make informed strategic decisions, a crucial competitive setback in the fast-paced manufacturing sector.
