This global provider of communication and network infrastructure services helps clients communicate more efficiently and connect with their audiences through a diverse portfolio of solutions—from unified communications and safety services to interactive automated notifications, telecom services, and specialty agent support.
Facing a critical inflection point in its data management strategy, the client needed to modernize its infrastructure by implementing big data lake solutions as its standard data warehouse repository, replacing costly legacy systems that had become inefficient and expensive to maintain.
The stakes were high—a projected $3 million—requiring experienced Hadoop engineers and admins to help set up the new environment while retiring Splunk and sunsetting other legacy applications.
The partnership began through a Cloudera recommendation, but it was Concentrix’s approach that sealed the relationship. Even before the official partnership commenced, the Concentrix team demonstrated their commitment through comprehensive proof of concept work and technology discussions.
Concentrix’s Data & Analytics team took a methodical, education-first approach that addressed both immediate technical needs and long-term knowledge transfer:
The technical implementation was comprehensive, beginning with a use-case-driven roadmap that reflected the client’s actual business needs and priorities, allowing us to focus on delivering maximum impact:
For the pilot project, we focused on interactive services—a business unit representing more than 13% of the client’s revenue:
The scope extended beyond the initial implementation to include operational management and maintenance of multiple clusters, encompassing administration, monitoring, and DevOps—ensuring the platform would continue performing optimally long after launch.
“The Concentrix team was the most helpful with its proof of concept (PoC) and technology discussions. They provided support and consulting even before our official partnership started.” –Client Software Engineer
The financial impact was substantial. Through impeccable execution of a robust architecture and disciplined data governance policies, Concentrix helped the client corporation save nearly $3 million by decommissioning expensive legacy systems and consolidating their data infrastructure.
Beyond the immediate cost savings, the implementation delivered lasting operational and analytic insights that continue to drive business value. The success of the project cemented Concentrix as a strategic partner, leading to a multi-year managed services contract that ensures ongoing optimization and support.
The transformation demonstrated that a successful Hadoop data lake solutions implementation requires more than technical expertise, demands a partner who can educate, collaborate, and deliver results under pressure while building internal capability for long-term success.
