Efficient and scalable platform matching business needs.
Effortlessly explore data and track and analyse data streams via API layer.
Sustainable platform, reduced workload and expansion of team knowledge.
DLL’s Data Management & Analytics team provides various data products to the organisation. Ruud van Lieshout, Data Platforms Delivery Lead: “As a team, we provide the platform that regions or delivery teams can use to perform data activities. They use this for a variety of purposes, from risk assessment to regulatory compliance.”
Mark Cattenstart, Solutions Architect at DLL: “Over time, our data platform would not be able to meet the growing data needs from our organisation. Scaling up in people or technology was a must, and the choice fell on technology. We also wanted to make the platform more efficient so that users could work with it more easily. With Blenddata as a specialist in this field, we brought in a lot of knowledge and experience and were able to take steps faster.”
By automating processes, DLL’s Data management & analytics platform has reduced manual tasks by 55%. With this, DLL has achieved a major efficiency gain.
Thanks to knowledge transfer and co-development with Blenddata, the DLL data team made a growth step, which is necessary to maintain and further develop the platform itself.
Based on stakeholder research, Blenddata developed an advice for sustainable improvement of the existing platform. This advice was implemented into a working solution together with DLL’s data team.

The collaboration began by reviewing DLL’s existing data platform. In this phase, Blenddata analysed both business processes and technology. Several stakeholders were interviewed to distil where exactly the pain was. Ruud: “Blenddata recommended a data platform roadmap based on business value, impact and likelihood.”
Mark: “Our platform team was losing time with unclear, time-consuming requests. Blenddata removed pressure with an API layer that handles generic queries automatically through our ticketing system. In addition, Blenddata realised integrated and fully automated access management for IT teams by implementing an access provisioning API. Data users from within the organisation can now effortlessly explore data and track and analyse data flows. This way, we quickly get the right data available at the right time to the right person in the organisation.”
Ruud: “Blenddata put its money where its mouth was in the implementation phase, and we are already reaping the benefits of that. Blenddata included our data team in the implementation of improvement points, so the colleagues developed and helped maintain the solutions.” Mark: “Knowledge transfer towards the platform team is very important to us. This makes us not dependent on a supplier and also helps our team grow to an even higher level. This is very important to be able to move on.”
