    The Customer

    The customer is a leading unified talent platform provider specializing in comprehensive learning and human capital management software. Their AI-powered talent experience platform brings together technology, data, and content to promote growth, agility, and success on a large scale. With over 7,000 customers and 100 million users across 180 countries and 50 languages, they are renowned for their robust data analytics that support business intelligence tools.

  • The Challenge

    The Challenge

    Some of the key challenges encountered include:

    Data analytics at this organization involves collecting data from multiple sources, staging, transforming into OLAP format, and storing it in a data warehouse for BI tool consumption, using technologies like Fivetran, DBT, Snowflake, and Tableau. However, CSOD encounters challenges such as scheduling delays that disrupt subsequent jobs, unverified data quality, and complex data transfers across networks that compromise data integrity. Additionally, the absence of tracking mechanisms for data operations and quality leads to reactive rather than proactive issue resolution.

  • The Solution

    The Solution

    To address these challenges, CriticalRiver implemented a comprehensive solution using Apache Airflow, highlighted by several key components:

    • CSOD Airflow Framework: Standardized pipeline deployment across all functions.
    • Direct S3 Ingestion: Eliminated reliance on Fivetran, streamlining data flows.
    • Custom Logging: Enhanced task logging for improved data management.
    • Data Quality Checks: Integrated Great Expectations for stringent quality control.
    • Observability Dashboard: Enabled continuous monitoring of pipeline health.
    • Tool Integration: Optimized the use of DBT for transformations and Tableau for visualization.
