Real-Time Examples of DataStage in Projects

 

Example 1: Banking – Customer 360 Integration

A bank has customer data in multiple systems (Loans, Credit Cards, Savings).
DataStage integrates the data and creates a single Customer Master table.

Tasks performed:

• Extract from Oracle, SQL Server

• Remove duplicates

• Standardize customer names & addresses

• Merge into a Master table

Outcome: 360° customer view for analytics & cross-selling.
