Business Challenge

Business needs and technical requirements increased with the evolution of the company, so the need to implement a big data platform to support this growth arose. The main challenges for the partner were: an increasing number of hospitals, polyclinics, laboratories, and partner clinics that led to the accumulation of data over time and difficulty in centralizing and processing, the need to reduce the time in which data can be accessed, increasing data-processing needs, so that information can be transmitted to other systems and applications or interpreted quickly. Thus, the client wanted to relieve the pressure on the databases to increase operational performance and to expand the ability to respond to any kind of data integrations and queries.
