Development of a Fully Automated Data Centre for the Online Shop at www.dm.de

When a major brand like dm strategically enters the online market, it creates high expectations. For this reason, their IT subsidiary FILIADATA, which has been responsible for all dm’s IT systems since 1988, launched a project in 2013 which was aimed at laying the foundations for reliable, fail-safe IT operations for dm.de. These included creating a large, fully automated Linux infrastructure in the data centre on which sophisticated web services like the online shop can be operated.

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we were able to collaborate with Hussel to complete the analysis of the current situation, the design of the BI architecture, and the planning and implementation of the data warehouse migration within a tight deadline – a mere 4 months.
