The webinar discussed how Progressive Leasing uses WhereScape and HVR software to automate and accelerate their data warehousing projects. WhereScape automates the design, development, documentation and operation of data warehouses using metadata-driven best practices. HVR replicates data in real-time from various sources to targets like Snowflake and Redshift. Together, WhereScape and HVR allow Progressive Leasing to build entire data warehouses from scratch in hours instead of days, and move data from sources to their operational data store in minutes instead of days. A representative from Progressive Leasing said the software lets them focus more on business problems than technical challenges.

11. What is HVR?
HVR replicates high volumes of data to
and from a variety of sources and
targets for real-time reporting and
analytics.
16. Fast Delivery of Real-Time
Data Warehouses
Together, WhereScape and HVR enable quick
design, development, deployment and operation of
real-time data warehouse and analytical solutions

19. Using WhereScape + HVR
Can eliminate 90% of hand-coding
in data warehouse development
Was able to build an entire data
warehouse from scratch using 20
source tables in a few hours
Now moves data from sources to
an operational store in minutes
instead of days
“WhereScape and HVR let us focus more on solving
business problems than technical challenges.”

Please tell us a bit about Progressive Leasing as a company and what they do
Please me a bit about yourselves and your specific roles at PL
Please tell us why data is meaningful for the success of your business
Examples: How business users make decisions on new product offerings, customer satisfaction, Net Promoter or distractor score, Customer life time value, Segmentation, churn etc
Please tell us about the data infrastructure to make data available to the end users
Examples: The types of customer facing applications, supported databases, number of data centers, number of DBAs to number of business users (ratios are fine too), tools like HVR, Tableau, etc
Please share with us how you use HVR today
Please tell us a bit about how your datawarehousing processes were prior to HVR and WhereScape
What were some points of friction in your data delivery?
How did you address them from an operational perspective?
WhereScape first, then introduction to HVR, rolling out the first contact center data from the ground up integrating into the DW etc
What kind of justifications you had to provide to get your management to sponsor these projects
Example: Measurable change in customer satisfaction, cost of inaccurate data or manual processes etc
When qualifying HVR and WhereScape what technical considerations did you take into account
With HVR and WhereScape replacing the legacy data movement, what business and technical benefits did you experience – examples: product quality, ease of use, completeness, support, features etc
What are some future projects you are looking to expand HVR and WhereScape to?
Closing comments
This is another way to show and discuss how WhereScape fits the data warehouse lifecycle in lieu potentially of the “ladder” slides for audiences that may not be as technical – and uses the analogy of a building’s lifecycle.
Whether on-premises or in the cloud, deliver data warehouses, data vaults, data lakes and data marts quickly with the WhereScape RED integrated development environment.
Automates development and operations workflows
Generates platform-native code
Creates and updates documentation automatically
