A Fortune 500 Wholesale Distributor of Health and Specialty Food saves 40% on operational costs with a Databricks migration and BI workload.
SITUATION
Our client, a Fortune 500 wholesale distributor of health and specialty food, was behind schedule and over budget on their migration project. They needed to get back on track with modernizing their legacy on-premise ERP and data platforms to cloud based offerings from Databricks, AWS, Snowflake and SAP Cloud. Given our established relationship and reputation for being efficient and cost effective for this client, they turned to Apex to complete the migration journey.
"We have been able to assemble a highly skilled and cohesive team that is driving our data initiatives forward. Apex's ability to ramp top talent quickly and efficiently has been invaluable. We are particularly impressed with the tailored solutions our Account Manager has provided, ensuring that each consultant not only meets our technical needs but also fits perfectly within our company culture."

Apex was able to come in, assess the situation, and make a strategic plan to complete the project. We began by creating a knowledgeable and cost-effective team of data analysts, data test engineers, data engineers, lead engineers, data architects, and solution architects.
Apex’s engagement and solution leadership oversaw the implementation team to ensure successful delivery on the Databricks migration and BI workload. We improved communication and visibility of the project blockers to management and the entire team, managing risk for the client and project due to external integrations. We helped identify organizational changes needed to create efficiencies and improve team velocity to deliver on time.
RESULT
Apex helped the client save time and operational expenses. We were able to bring around 40% cost savings. This client also had frequent priority changes due to company reorganizations during this project. Apex team members were instrumental in adapting and being flexible navigating these frequent changes in an Agile fashion.
