Directed a data consolidation initiative to unify seven disparate products into a single, scalable source of truth.

Operational costs cut by nearly a third, with business intelligence capabilities the fragmented system had never allowed.

Client: OEC
Engagement: Kickdrum client project
Role: Product lead

Context

OEC connects insurers, repair shops, and OEMs across the vehicle parts and repair ecosystem, but was running seven disparate products, each with its own database and application stack — expensive to maintain and impossible to report on as a whole.

What I Did

  • Directed a methodical migration mapping and moving data from seven disparate products into a single consolidated source, with a workflow to track and correct migration state when anomalies appeared.
  • Directed design of a scalable star-schema data warehouse supporting multiple customers simultaneously from a single source of truth.
  • Consolidated seven products and their underlying databases into one lower-cost cloud instance, and implemented automatic shutdown of non-production environments outside business hours.

Outcome

  • 30% reduction in operational costs through consolidation
  • “Pull together and complete a tremendous amount of work in a short time.” — Sara Wojtowicz, Sr. Project Manager, OEC
