MDIC

The National Department of Commercial Registration (DNRC), a department within the Brazilian government’s MDIC, is tasked with gathering commercial registration information from all 27 states across the country (and across multiple time zones).

Business Need

Challenges

Registration data arrived in a variety of formats—different flavors of Oracle, SQL Server and DB2-sourced flat files. It arrived at different times of the month depending on which state was sending it. And some of the information coming in was of unreliable quality.
MDIC data analysts could only examine simple statistics, such as the number of new businesses opening across Brazil in one month.

Lower the time and resources needed to integrate the data and share the business intelligence arising from it.
