The Bank of Georgia has partnered with Cloudera to bring multiple data sources into one centralised location. The bank can provide intelligent and personalised customer experiences and effectively utilise data to drive innovation.
As Bank of Georgia has grown, the volume of customer and financial data that it manages has increased significantly. It has also expanded its use of open-source tools across its analytics, data management, and developer functions.
Cloudera alongside its local implementation partner, HTS, worked together with the Bank of Georgia to implement Cloudera as a central platform for the bank’s customer and financial data. The bank now has a centralised open data lakehouse that can scale rapidly to integrate data from multiple sources. This includes significant volumes of data from Bank of Georgia’s digital platforms, with 1.4 million monthly active digital users and 66% of all transactions conducted through its banking applications.
Cloudera’s out-of-the-box functionality simplified numerous complex integrations with Bank of Georgia’s existing toolset
The bank previously used more than 15 open-source products for data streaming from databases, including Oracle, Elastic Search and MongoDB, and for Extract, Transform and Load (ELT) processes.
Cloudera’s open architecture and interoperability meant that Bank of Georgia’s team did not have to spend time manually building data pipelines or integrations and they now stream data into the lakehouse with Apache Spark.
Vazha Pirtskhalaishvili, Head of DevOps and DataOps Engineering, Bank of Georgia, commented: “Cloudera’s out-of-the-box capabilities take integration pressure off our teams because it is truly integrated from a data security and governance perspective. The simplicity and speed of set-up lets us focus on adding value by serving data to the rest of the business.”
