The Challenge
Logitech's rapidly growing product line completely changed the nature of business reporting at the company. Business users needed to find answers to problems relating to price violations on retail sites, text mining and sentiment analysis of Logitech's products on social media and gaming websites, demand forecasting, sales channel management, and other domains. They were also challenged by fragmented analytics caused by data being trapped across multiple on-premises systems such as ERP, POS, DRM and MDM. In addition, Logitech had recently acquired a string of companies that added business verticals but data from those new verticals never got captured in the final enterprise-wide reporting, so top management lacked a full picture of the overall business.
About The Customer
Logitech is a Swiss global provider of personal computer and tablet accessories with EMEA headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland and American headquarters in Newark, California. The company develops and markets products like peripheral devices for PCs, including keyboards, mice, trackballs, microphones, game controllers, and webcams. The company also has offices throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and conducts its sales and marketing activities across America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific. In 2015, the company reported around $2 billion in revenue with its 9,000 employees.
The Solution
Logitech built a solution built on the Denodo Platform. In the new infrastructure, data from the company's various on-premise sources and other third-party cloud-based sources are fed into an Amazon S3 bucket and from there it is loaded into the Snowflake cloud data warehouse. Snowflake was also used to store semi-structured loT data in JSON format. The Denodo Platform acted as a secure and governed business layer in the overall data architecture sitting between Snowflake and the consuming applications. Denodo also integrated Salesforce, Zendesk and Google Analytics data, making all of the data available to the advanced analytics and reporting layer. With the Denodo Platform at the business layer, acting as the single semantic layer for all of Logitech's data sources, all consuming applications now have access to the same data. The Denodo Platform is the nucleus of the new solution architecture.
Operational Impact
  • The Denodo Platform made Logitech's cloud journey not only possible but possible as a live migration, with minimal impact on business operations.
  • As a result, Logitech was able to move from Amazon Redshift to Snowflake without affecting business continuity in any way.
  • Using the Denodo Platform, Logitech was able to create a consumer master (MDM) solution to centrally manage consumer opt-in/opt-out on an enterprise level.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Before the Denodo Platform was implemented, the weekly demand forecast program (run on a combination of R and Oracle Exadata) ran for three days; now it takes a few hours.
  • The Denodo Platform’s query optimization capabilities greatly accelerate Logitech’s data science and analytics efforts giving it a 40 to 70% performance improvement with the same volume of data at 30% less cost.
