• A leading financial services firm used Rocket DataEdge to combine real-time mainframe data with external data sources to drive more accurate analytics and eliminate slow, risky, and costly ETL processes. The firm can now easily create, update, or expand applications and services, significantly speeding time to market and customer value while maintaining the security and privacy of their customers’ information.
