For more than two decades, a Fortune 50 company ran its network analytics on a legacy system built when flip phones were cutting-edge technology. The system worked, but it also had significant limits. It was expensive and inflexible. Mostly focused on being a data store with limited analytics options. They had to download data to other tools to do actual analytics. And only 15 analysts could access the data directly. Everyone else had to request reports, wait days or even weeks for answers. This expensive system delivered limited value to the business. Over time, this bottleneck became more troublesome. The business had grown, new customer channels had opened, and the pace of decision making sped up. Yet the data stayed locked behind outdated tools and rigid workflows. Managers were asking questions no one could easily answer: What’s driving network access patterns? Who has accessed our external sites? Are we being attacked? Do we have network capacity to handle future demand?
