Success Stories - LexisNexis

 Background
LexisNexis faced expensive upgrade costs and performance problems when the system increased in size and processing requirements. Their vendor gave them a single option - upgrade the hardware. Unable to commit extra expenditures to additional hardware, LexisNexis approached Coffing Data Warehousing for a solution.
 
 Coffing Data Warehousing Impact
Identified and compressed the top 20 largest and utilized tables with our Multi-Value Compression, now available in SmartCompress
Realized a 40% space recovery by compressing over 3/4 TB
Increased space recovery to 60% by recommending and implementing datatype conversions
Improved query response times by 10 minutes by decreasing row-sizing
 
 Bottom Line
CDW saved LexisNexis $0.5 Million in upgrade costs by reclaiming space and improving performance with compression, ultimately allowing LexisNexis to maximize their investment
