Technical Focus Areas

• Data Engineering & Integration: SQL Server/SSIS, Informatica PowerCenter/IDQ, Talend, Kafka, Azure Data Factory – Delta/CDC/ELT patterns, robust pipelines, monitoring/recovery, data lineage & impact analysis, medallion architecture Bronze/Silver/Gold layers
• DWH & Cloud: Azure SQL / Data Lake / Synapse, AWS Redshift/S3, on‑prem SQL/Oracle – scalable data marts with a strong cost/benefit focus.
• Data Modeling: Atomic (Inmon) and Dimensional (Kimball), Data Vault (Linstedt), Domain‑Driven Design, clear lineage & contracts.
• MDM & Governance: Informatica MDM, IBM MDM, stewardship processes, data quality rules, survivorship/XREF, catalog/glossary, SIF/BES/REST publication.
• Analytics/BI: Power BI, SSAS, Cognos – business‑ready, maintainable data products.

• Goal/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. So far, PAYONE has no overall master data strategy. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.

The organization is to be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Creating the foundation for master data management at PAYONE

• Challenge: Due to acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is very dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, so resource bottlenecks and changes in project priorities are again and again almost impossible to handle.

Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The first focus is on migrating all customers from the master-data-leading backend systems with their AML/KYC data to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the corresponding ODD/EDD processes.

In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Previous migrations led in some cases to duplicate customer records. In the end, only one customer should be maintained in Salesforce and, with the corresponding information from the backend systems, it should also be possible to recognize which products and in which processing systems the customer uses Payone services.
