TransUnion is a leading credit reporting agency that has collected an extensive amount of data through the acquisition of over 25 companies. The company’s strategy is centered around this vast amount of data, which is currently being integrated onto a comprehensive platform known as OneTru. This platform provides a range of data services, including data ingestion, data management, data governance, and data security.
OneTru will allow TransUnion and its clients to access the company’s consumer data to support advanced analytics, machine learning models, and generative AI applications. Achanta is leading this initiative and has held similar positions at Neustar and Walmart.
TransUnion has migrated to AWS as part of Project Rise, which 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. However, the main focus of their technology modernization efforts is on OneTru and its 50 petabytes of accumulated data over many years.
