BICS uses a Hadoop data lake powered by the Informatica Big Data Platform to enable predictive analytics and customer centricity. The data lake provides scalable storage and processing for billions of telecommunications transactions. BICS aims to migrate more analytics and reporting from its Teradata data warehouse to Hadoop to gain cost efficiencies and handle increasing data volumes and complex analytics. The roadmap includes moving near real-time subscriber tracking to Hadoop while maintaining low latency, as well as computing new analytics and providing longer term historical reporting from Hadoop.
