360 Single Client View
Contributed to the development of a high-performance ontology unifying over 100 PB of banking data, enabling accurate entity resolution and delivering a comprehensive single-client view to satisfy critical compliance requirements.
Challenge
- A client project required processing and integrating over 100 PB of diverse client, transaction, and legal entity data across numerous entities and jurisdictions.
- Complex Entity Resolution algorithms to uniquely identify clients and determine ultimate beneficiary owners.
- Highly regulated environment with strict rules over data manipulation, PII, etc.
Solution
- The team collaborated on the design and optimization of Spark pipelines capable of massive-scale data processing, unifying over 100 PB into a standardized ontology
- Incremental transformations, precise partitioning strategies, and Spark plan optimizations were employed to boost efficiency and lower compute costs
- The ontology structure was reorganized for better memory utilization, and data workflows were streamlined to support both compliance requirements and operational needs
Results
- Team achieved a 100x ROI by drastically reducing batch compute costs and processing times.
- Enabled creation of a foundational data framework that has supported hundreds of downstream users and unlocked a wide array of high-impact initiatives
- Helped averted millions in potential regulatory fines by strengthening compliance and operational excellence.
