The challenge

With revenue generated through optional in-game purchases, sustaining a player’s interest is critical. Wooga’s business model and developers rely on sophisticated user-behavior analysis to keep players coming back. Each development team works with its own data containers and analysts – which means multiple teams need to be able to submit queries simultaneously without dips in performance or query speed.


The solution

Wooga implemented Exasol to analyze and store accumulated game data. Exasol allows Wooga’s teams to run multiple queries at once, independent of a central controlling department.


“Using Exasol has accelerated our analysis, depending on its nature and scope, by a factor of 80 to 100.”
