Client Profile

Corsair is one of the globally leading manufacturers of gaming PC components and peripherals, based out of the US. In this highly fragmented industry, Corsair has carved a unique brand position through a range of mid and high-end (enthusiastic) grade products.

Business challenges

Late availability of sales & revenue information by more than 3 hours, delaying key business decisions.
Lack of data quality and governance resulted in siloed versions of facts.
Excel-centric reporting limited user experience.
High maintenance cost due to rigid cube architecture, and high on-premise software license costs.
Lack of continuous system availability whenever cube was refreshed.

Agilisium Solution

Data from sources (Oracle EBS, CSV files) were retrieved and loaded into AWS S3 buckets.
This data was then transferred into the AWS Redshift Staging schema.
The staged data was then processed and loaded into AWS Redshift Reporting schema.
Comprehensive data engineering with audit balance controls were devised and developed in Snaplogic.
Data visualizations from Excel were transformed into rich intuitive visuals in Tableau, enabling slice and dice of KPIs
Row-level security framework was created enabling seamless single-sign-on.
