Intrum is Europe’s undisputed market leading credit management company. While we have been utilizing big data for years, it is a constant work in progress with challenges, improvements, and adjustments as we bring together data from all countries to enable data products on all levels. This presentation will describe our journey so far, as well as what we anticipate moving forward in handling the ever-growing thirst for data. We will explore why we added Vertica to our data landscape on top of Hadoop, what Vertica capabilities we are leveraging today for optimal performance and management of data for 24 countries, and what changes we will face in using the cloud, Databricks for some of the processing, and switching to Vertica in Eon Mode on Kubernetes.
