UK gaming company The Rank Group sought an automation tool that would pull data
together from varied, disparate sources, transform it into a common form and arrange it in
a coherent, efficient architecture. A brief proof of concept demonstrated that WhereScape
could quickly achieve this aggregation and deliver the correct BI to business users when
requested.
The Rank Group has acquired a portfolio of companies with a variety of data systems,
meaning the process of acquiring a single source of truth was long-winded and prone to
error. CDO Simon Asplen-Taylor has used WhereScape to great success at previous
organisations, and has a reputation for enabling data-driven digital transformation. Using
WhereScape Data Automation and the implementation skills of WhereScape’s trusted
partner Red Olive, Simon repeated a tried-and-tested plan to create an agile data
warehouse architecture.
The Rank Group was involved in the cinema and motion picture industry until 2006. Its
brands now include Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casinos, the UK's largest casino operator.
