Grant Street Group offers cloud-based government solutions for tax billing, payment processing, and online auctions, and at $12 trillion is the world’s largest internet auctioneer of financial and legal instruments. Its e-payments service processes over $10 billion in secure transactions annually, and nearly two-thirds of all property taxes in Florida and a third of online vehicle registration and renewals run through Grant Street software.
Given the enormous volume of data and reports Grant Street analyzes and generates, its engineers recognized they were approaching a performance ceiling and needed a scalable database. With its own in-house front-end reporting tool in place, Grant Street needed a back-end solution that could integrate into its existing framework, and deliver accurate and faster reporting across all products for its clients.
Exasol connects to two of Grant Street’s core products, while serving as the back-end database for its data analytics and visualization tools – supporting both client-facing and internal analytics. Two dozen data streams feed into the Exasol warehouse in real time from data stores within the business, making it possible for Grant Street to correlate all of the data in one place for visualizations and BI.
“Exasol has allowed us to exponentially decrease our reporting times. Our clients are happy and so are we."
