Custom Database Service Delivery
Experian® Marketing Services provides direct marketing services to clients to profitably acquire, retain and
grow their customer relationships. Major product lines include Database Management, Data Integrity, List
Processing, Consumer & Business Data, Email Marketing and Strategy & Analytics.
• Truvue® Platform Migration Project: Truevue Experian’s customer data integration product was
split between two different technologies. Half of the volume was on a mainframe system costing
$4MM a year and a portion of the processing was on a distributed system platform costing $0.8MM.
The mainframe portion required high availability, real-time access to the data. IBM pureScale was
utilized to provide high availability transactions in a DB2 AIX environment. A $0.5MM increase per
year in distributed systems hardware and software will eliminate the need of the $4MM a year
mainframe.
• Mainframe Optimization Project: Initiated a project to lower total hardware and software support
costs to the Experian Marketing Services Businesses. Three mainframes with excess capacity were
consolidated into one minus two generation IBM mainframe. The consolidation of these platforms
into an older used IBM mainframe reduces costs by $1.5MM a year and did not negatively impact
customer service.
• Print & File Handling Project. Led a project to reengineer the printing and inbound and outbound
file handling functions for the division saving in excess of $1.6MM a year.
• Costa Rica Development Office Project: Led a project to move 11% of the Database support staff to
a newly established office in Costa Rica, achieving 11% operating cost reduction and no disruptions
