The Challenge

With several million data points per month, C.H.BECK’s previous analytics solution was reaching its limits, particularly in query speed. To continue offering customers tailored solutions and be prepared for a digital future, a high-performance tool for rapid data insights was needed.

The Solution

Over 10 years ago, C.H.BECK found the ideal partner for its digital journey in Exasol. After a successful PoC, Exasol was implemented as an on-premises solution and has since impressed with outstanding performance, good value for money, and great flexibility in meeting new requirements.
