From Data Deluge to Decision Delight: How ESAF SFB Leverages Data for Dynamic Growth

Picture this: 50GB of data flooding your system daily. Sounds chaotic, right? Yet, at ESAF Small Finance Bank (ESAF SFB), we've transformed this data deluge into a decision-making delight. How? Read our story about turning big data into big wins.

The Challenge: We needed a robust system to organise, analyse, and harness this constant onslaught of information.

The Solution: We built a three-tiered, sophisticated data management ecosystem. Raw data lands in the "staging" environment, is cleansed and refined in the "processed" zone, and finally reaches the "data mart" for in-depth analysis. Before our Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process commences, meticulous pre-processing takes place, powered by the GO language's data modelling magic. We scrub and validate every byte, ensuring accuracy and completeness. We meticulously compare this refined data with the previous day's dataset, employing a change tracking system to swiftly identify any deviations or modifications.

When the ETL process initiates, our reliance on Talend Open Studio becomes pivotal. This platform handles the extraction, transformation, and loading of data. It ensures that the thoroughly processed data, refined through our meticulous pre-ETL procedures, is uploaded to our site, guaranteeing a smooth and efficient user experience for our customers at ESAF Small Finance Bank.
