About The Customer

Micron Technology is a global leader in the semiconductor industry, with over 35 years of experience in innovation. The company's teams of dreamers, visionaries, and scientists have redefined innovation by designing and building some of the world's most advanced memory and semiconductor technologies. Micron holds more than 20,000 patents and offers the broadest portfolio of memory solutions in the industry. The company continues to transform how the world uses information, but faced challenges in managing and extracting big data from its multiple manufacturing sites.

The Challenge

Micron Technology, a leading innovator in memory and semiconductor technologies, faced a significant challenge in managing and extracting manufacturing big data from 12 separate sites. The company was unable to deliver data within the requested timeframes, leading to many sites attempting to access OLTP data directly. This resulted in redundant processes, resource inefficiency, and data integration and performance issues. The data warehousing and analytics solutions developed were not able to keep up with the needs of the business. Projects that did occur were isolated, with no ability to build onto or modify when needed.

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, Micron Technology turned to WhereScape® automation to design and build an enterprise Data Vault using Data Vault 2.0 methodology on Teradata. This automation was built specifically to leverage the native capabilities of Teradata, allowing Micron to implement the foundation for its new enterprise data vault within 90 days. Furthermore, the Micron team can now produce a new prototype within an hour that can be used to evaluate effectiveness with business users before moving a solution into production. This has given Micron rapid access to an enterprise-wide view of manufacturing big data, and the ability to respond to end-user queries and supply the data requested within the same day.

Operational Impact

The implementation of WhereScape® automation and the Data Vault 2.0 methodology on Teradata has significantly improved Micron's data management capabilities. The company can now rapidly access an enterprise-wide view of manufacturing big data, and respond to end-user queries within the same day. This has eliminated the previous issues of redundant processes, resource inefficiency, and data integration and performance problems. The ability to produce a new prototype within an hour also allows for more effective evaluation with business users before moving a solution into production.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8

ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.

AI-based Automation for Commercial Office HVAC: A Verdigris Case Study

Modern buildings are required to run longer hours, support a variety of end uses, and contribute to higher levels of economic productivity, leaving a thin margin for error. However, even the most advanced building and environmental control systems have failed to adequately support facilities and operations management. Buildings are often inefficient and the people using them are underserved. To meet occupant comfort and maintain cost and energy efficiency, a dynamic, AI-assisted approach is needed.

Revamping EE's Legacy ERP: A Case Study on BT's Strategic Transformation

EE, even after its merger with BT, was operating its ERP estate on legacy infrastructure, hosted on the premises of a third-party supplier. This outdated system resulted in a volume-based operational model, higher time to market, longer delivery cycles, and unsatisfactory customer experience. BT recognized the need for a strategic transformation of these aging ERP systems and sought a partner who could proactively manage application services. The partner was also expected to handle development requirements associated with application management services, drive accountability, and ownership with a time and target-driven transformation of these services. BT's primary goals were to improve customer experience, reduce cycle time, and measure these improvements with precision.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study

Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.
