Delivering a Real-Time, Compliant Data Platform for a Global Fintech Leader
Overview.
The client is a global fintech and payments company serving the banking, merchant acquiring, and global commerce sectors. With a strong presence across EMEA, the organization handles high volumes of sensitive financial transactions daily and relies on secure, real-time data operations to power its business and regulatory reporting.
The client required a robust, real-time data platform to process millions of transactions daily, maintain continuous compliance, and deliver actionable insights across the enterprise. Key challenges included integrating data from multiple legacy and modern sources, meeting strict regulatory standards, and enabling enterprise-wide reporting and analytics at scale.
