Delivering data with high reliability
To continue leading the U.S. property valuation space, Clear Capital needed a technology platform capable of scaling rapidly and delivering data consistently to customers—including top-tier financial institutions.
However, achieving this goal posed several hurdles, including:
Scalability needs
Their existing system couldn’t handle the anticipated data loads from future growth.
Reliability and performance
Uptime and low-latency performance were critical to meeting SLAs for customers.
Technical complexity
Managing a proprietary data layer was too resource-intensive, requiring a significant time investment that would detract from core product development.
