CUSTOMER SUCCESS
Background
SnapLogic, an industry leader in enterprise integration platform as a service
(iPaaS) is a strategic go-to-market partner to EDC Consulting. EDC provides
consulting and implementation services for application and data integration
using the SnapLogic Elastic Integration Platform. SnapLogic was responsible for
systems integration for Sterling Backcheck, one of the world’s largest companies
focused entirely on background checks. Moving to an iPaaS instead of their
hand-built point-to-point integration instantly transformed Sterling Backcheck’s tech-
nology strategy, allowing them to support business and revenue goals more directly as
well as onboard new clients in a matter of days instead of months.The most important
ROI from standardizing on SnapLogic was faster time to revenue.
Challenge
Sterling Backcheck was using a combination of homegrown and open-source integration
tools for automating transactions with customers.The technology was costly and hard to
use, so they had to assign platform engineers to do the integration. The integration took
several months to build and heavy customization meant almost everything was a one-off
with little or no re-use. Assigning their engineers to integration took their time away from
business-critical work on their core platform to add functionality and new services. Sterling
Backcheck needed a more modern approach to data and application integration that would be
faster and easier – ultimately letting them focus on their core business. After looking at various
vendors in the market, they chose SnapLogic for its integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS). It
gave them a single platform for batch, real-time and Big Data integration.
Results
The transformation provided by the SnapLogic iPaaS was outstanding. Moving to an iPaaS in-
stead of hand-building point-to-point integration instantly transformed Sterling Backcheck’s tech-
nology strategy, allowing them to more directly support business and revenue goals.With the
iPaaS approach they were able to shorten the time it took to integrate data and applications from
months to weeks, and therefore drastically reduce the time it took to onboard new clients. On-
boarding of new clients could now be done in a matter of days. It was an instant efficiency improve-
ment. Another key return was the ability to put 12 engineers back into higher-value tasks that
ensure they stay competitive and deliver premium customer service.The most important ROI from
standardizing on SnapLogic was faster time to revenue.
