The challenge
A leading US non-bank mortgage originator still ran risk, finance, and servicing analytics on an ageing SQL Server estate, 320 SSIS packages, and 600 stored procedures, that cost US $2 m/year in licence and hardware costs.
Manual lineage would slow CFPB/GLBA exams, and business users would wait for 4–6 weeks for new datasets.
The lender needed modern analytics as well as bullet-proof governance, fast.
The solution
Infinite Lambda delivered an enterprise-ready, governed data platform in four months.
Action

15-min micro-batches; complete history
Azure Purview + private endpoints
