TransUnion’s strategy is centered on the vast amount of data the company has collected through the acquisition of over 25 companies over many years. This data is currently being integrated onto a comprehensive platform that provides a range of data services, including data ingestion, data management, data governance, and data security.
The platform being developed, known as OneTru, will allow TransUnion and its clients to access the company’s extensive consumer data to support advanced analytics, machine learning models, and generative AI applications. This initiative is being led by Achanta, who has held similar positions at Neustar and Walmart.
OneTru will provide TransUnion with 50 petabytes of data that have been accumulated over many years. This migration to AWS, known as “Project Rise,” is expected to be completed by the end of the year. This transition has enabled TransUnion to establish a multicloud infrastructure that also supports Google Cloud Platform. The main focus of their technology modernization efforts is on OneTru and its ability to handle large amounts of consumer data for advanced analytics and AI applications.
