Client Overview
A leading provider of transparent, independent market intelligence, data, and analytics, serving customers across energy, commodities, capital markets, and the broader global economy. Through its Energy Studio platform, S&P Global delivers real-time and historical insights that help energy companies make informed operational, commercial, and strategic decisions at scale.
The Problem
Energy Studio was powered by Heavy.AI, a high-performance analytics engine that delivered results, but at a cost.
As customer demand increased, critical limitations surfaced:
- No centralized enterprise data warehouse or integrated data platform
- High total cost of ownership constrained commercial scalability
- Inability to scale horizontally as new customers onboarded
- Massive data volumes (up to 5 billion rows per dataset) pushed platform limits
- Real-time and geospatial analytics needed to remain uncompromised
Despite strong market demand, technology – not opportunity, became the bottleneck.
S&P Global needed a new architecture that could sustain growth, reduce cost, and deliver real-time intelligence at global scale.
The Solution
Neoware was brought in to reimagine the Energy Studio architecture from the ground up. Within a highly competitive, time-bound environment, Neoware designed and validated a modern, cloud-native analytics stack capable of handling extreme data volumes with low latency.
The new architecture delivered:
- A horizontally scalable analytics engine built on SingleStore
- High-performance ingestion and aggregation pipelines on AWS
- Support for advanced geospatial analytics, including polygon-based queries
- A flexible presentation layer using Apache Superset and Power BI
- A cost-efficient design optimized for long-term scalability
The solution was rigorously benchmarked against leading alternatives including Databricks, Snowflake, Kinetica, and Apache Druid under real-world conditions.
