Enterprise Data Analytics Platform
Financial Services Corporation
A financial services firm was drowning in data it could not use — reports took days, analysts worked from stale extracts, and every team had its own numbers. Bricksense built a single analytics platform the business could trust.
The Challenge
Source data was spread across a dozen systems with no common model. Analysts pulled overnight extracts into spreadsheets, so decisions were made on figures that were already a day old and often did not reconcile.
The platform had to process more than 5TB a day, enforce strict role-based access for regulated data, and stay fast under hundreds of concurrent users.
Our Approach
Common data model
A governed warehouse schema that every source maps into, with defined ownership for each metric.
Streaming ingestion
Change-data-capture pipelines replace overnight batch, so data lands within minutes of being created.
Governed access
Row- and column-level security tied to directory groups, with full query audit logging.
Query performance
Materialised aggregates and a caching layer keep dashboards responsive regardless of load.
The Solution
Analysts and executives now work from one platform with agreed definitions, data that is minutes old, and dashboards that answer most questions in under two seconds.
Regulated fields are protected by policy, and every query is logged, which made the last audit dramatically easier.
What We Delivered
- Governed enterprise data warehouse and model
- Real-time CDC ingestion from twelve source systems
- Self-serve BI dashboards with a shared metric layer
- Row- and column-level security with audit logging
- Performance layer: materialised aggregates and caching
The Results
Reporting that used to take days is now instant, and the whole organisation works from one set of numbers for the first time.
The platform sustains 5TB of daily processing and 500+ users at 99.95% uptime, with query times holding under two seconds at peak.
We stopped arguing about whose numbers were right. One platform, one definition, and answers in seconds instead of days.
