Sufficient Analysis Even in Limited Computing Environments — Data Democratization by Introducing Alteryx
Kirin Holdings Company, Limited
Applied Services: Alteryx
Kirin Holdings Company, Limited is a global leader in the liquor and beverage industry, known for flagship products including Kirin Ichiban beer, Gogo-no-Kocha tea, and the iMuse immune-boosting beverage. Facing strict corporate system requirements and an offline environment, the Data Science Team needed a data analysis tool that could operate within limited computing resources while remaining flexible enough for business-side users.
The Challenge: Analysis in a Constrained Environment
Kirin Holdings operates within strict IT governance constraints — systems must function in offline environments with limited compute capacity. The Data Science Team required a tool that could handle tens of millions of records, ingest data flexibly despite irregularities, and produce outputs in multiple formats including Excel and Tableau Hyper.
Key Challenges
- • Required compatibility with limited computing resources and offline environments
- • Needed flexible data ingestion handling irregular input formats
- • Had to serve both data specialists and business-oriented staff
- • Required readable workflow history for future reference and modifications
Solution: Alteryx for Self-Service Analytics
"Alteryx is strong in its ability to flexibly load input data when irregularities occur — with accurate column recognition and data cleansing."
"We like that Alteryx can be deployed by people closer to the business side who aren't experts in data analytics."
"It's nice to have a highly readable history of workflows for future reference and modifications."
