Scalable Data Exchange and Integration Platform for Global Beverage Company's Digital Transformation

The client faces difficulties in creating an efficient, scalable, and secure data exchange architecture between regional legacy on-premise systems and modern cloud applications. Their existing infrastructure hampers real-time data sharing, limits integration flexibility, and constrains their digital transformation and personalized customer experience efforts, including building a comprehensive traveler profile and AI-driven recommendations.

A large, multinational beverage organization seeking to modernize its legacy systems and optimize data exchange between on-premise and cloud environments to support digital transformation initiatives.

• Design and implement a highly scalable, hybrid integration architecture supporting existing legacy systems and new cloud applications.
• Develop a canonical data model to standardize data exchange across diverse systems, including REST, SOAP, FTP, and message queue protocols.
• Enable real-time and batch data exchange capabilities that accommodate projected data volumes while maintaining high security controls.
• Facilitate system reuse and minimize modifications to existing systems during integration.
• Support future expansion to include AI/ML functionalities, such as traveler activity profiling and personalized recommendations.

• Top-level conceptual data flow modeling to map high-level data exchange processes
• System-specific detailed data entity and attribute definitions, including necessary transformations
• Canonical data model supporting multiple data protocols (REST, SOAP, FTP, message queues)
• Real-time and batch data processing capabilities with security and volume considerations
• Integration with existing legacy endpoints without reimplementation
• Scalable deployment architecture utilizing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions such as cloud runtime environments

• Legacy on-premise systems supporting existing data exchange protocols
• Modern cloud applications requiring real-time data access
• External data sources via REST, SOAP, FTP, or message queues

• Scalability to support increasing data volumes aligning with projected growth
• High performance to enable near real-time data processing
• Robust security measures including access controls and data encryption
• High availability and fault tolerance to prevent data exchange disruptions
• Maintainable and adaptable architecture supporting future integrations, including AI/ML modules

The implementation of a scalable, hybrid data exchange architecture will enable the client to efficiently refresh their legacy system portfolio, support high-performance data sharing, and facilitate future AI/ML enhancements like traveler profiling and personalized recommendations. This strategic modernization is expected to improve data exchange reliability, reduce integration costs, and accelerate the digital transformation journey, ultimately strengthening market position and enhancing customer experience.
