Farmers Edge Owns Change
Farmers Edge is working to modernize the agricultural sector by fueling farmers and agricultural businesses with rich data pulled from field equipment and the environment. The information they’ve amassed through their years of industry experience is a valuable asset, and they wanted a more efficient way to monetize their anonymized and aggregated data.
The Challenge: One Company, Multiple Data Warehouses
Turbocharge Efficiency Through Cloud Transformation
Allegis Group is a massive, global organization serving more than 20,000 customers and placing more than 11,000 contractors weekly. Their strength? Allowing their network of specialized companies to function with a high level of autonomy. But over the years, this created siloed data, duplicative work and limited visibility across the organization. Allegis Group wanted to enable each operating company to work smarter—prioritizing efficiency to drive better business outcomes. They started by migrating one operating company, Allegis Global Solutions, to Snowflake’s data warehouse hosted on Azure.
Enter TEKsystems. As a Snowflake Elite Partner, we wanted to get the job done right with minimal disruption.
Our Solution: Teaming up for Transformation
Migrating On-Premises Servers to the Cloud
More than a decade of data to move? Challenge accepted. As our partner in transformation, Snowflake came a year prior to scope out the size and complexity of the data migration. We teamed up with Snowflake to conduct a preliminary migration readiness assessment (MRA) to capture the scope of the work, reviewing everything from data pipelines to security implementation. We organized our delivery team into pods and leveraged Agile sprint methodologies to optimize our project delivery. This allowed us to adjust to the needs of the cloud migration project as the focus of the work evolved.
More than cloud migration, Allegis Group wanted to make data more accessible. We integrated analytics tools, including Informatica, Power BI and WebFOCUS, empowering stakeholders to make informed business decisions fueled by centralized, shareable data.
Powerful Partnership: Data Foundation Drives Success
Providing Visibility With Snowflake Data Cloud
Allegis Group and Allegis Global Solutions wanted a solution unique to their business model and their data. As experts in cloud migration and data analytics, we meet customers where they are and get them where they want to be. That’s why we engaged our Snowflake resident solutions architect throughout the project to tackle nuanced architecture challenges. Our partnership with Snowflake ensured they received the most effective, innovative solutions throughout the project. From migration to implementation and beyond, we developed a roadmap and stayed with them every step of the way. Partnership and opportunity delivered.
At Farmers Edge, we’re dedicated to enhancing our customer experience through platform modernization. Collaborations with esteemed enterprise partners like TEKsystems ensure growers and partners enjoy exceptional service. With cutting-edge capabilities like BigQuery, Vertex AI and Apigee powered by Google Cloud, we’re leading the charge into the next generation of modern data technology, preparing for the [Gen AI] revolution. This partnership empowers us to deliver enterprise-grade tech solutions, setting new standards for innovation.

Real-World Results
Today, Farmers Edge has a fully modernized web application deployed in the Apigee X hosting environment. The application captures data from the farmers they support with greater accuracy in less time. The APIs that enable the application provide security, and the ability to monetize and throttle excess API calls. This will ensure a high quality of service to customers and partners.
With their data consolidated through BigQuery, Farmers Edge now operates efficiently on the Google Analytics Hub data exchange. Empowering Farmers Edge with the ability to monetize and leverage the power of data across the agricultural ecosystem will help the industry continue to grow into the future.
