Kantar builds KantarHub on Azure Integration Services for its internal application estate

Microsoft's dated customer story says Kantar built KantarHub on Azure using Azure Integration Services and migrated core and supporting applications into functional domains, with about 150 APIs represented by April 2024.

Organisation
Kantar, United Kingdom
Predecessor
a fragmented location-based internal application landscape with no common data-transfer solution and encrypted spreadsheets used to move data between teams
Destination
KantarHub on Microsoft Azure using Azure Integration Services, with core and supporting applications migrating into centralised functional domains
Workload
Microsoft Azure Integration Services
Stage
underway
Evidence boundary: The dated Microsoft source proves an operational KantarHub and the bounded migration of core and supporting applications into its domain model. The source explicitly says more applications remain to be identified and migrated, so this record does not claim a completed worldwide-estate cutover or retirement of every local application.
