What: Frasers Group has appointed Google Cloud partner and business technology consultancy Sada to develop and implement a new strategic data platform across its retail portfolio.

Why it is important: The new system will help the group scale data visibility and reporting across its portfolio of retailers and is also projected to help the group see nearly two times the value of its investment in the cloud.

The group’s CIO stated that they knew they needed to play catch up in the data space and shifting the cloud from an on-prem environment would be necessary.

Sada assisted the group in migrating its first dataset to Google Cloud’s BigQuery and will now provide it with a Cloud Advisory team to ensure consistency and flexibility toward the group’s long-term goal of building and maintaining a self-service, value-driven data model.
