Pioneering Data Excellence at the Department of Labor

A Groundbreaking Partnership

Zolon Tech Inc. (ZTI) is proud to be at the forefront of data innovation with the Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division (WHD). In collaboration with Snowflake, ZTI delivered the first-ever Snowflake Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) within the DOL, transforming how labor standards are enforced through real-time, data-driven insights.

Prior to ZTI’s involvement, WHD faced limitations with its data management processes, relying heavily on manual data imports from legacy SAP Business Objects (BO) systems. Recognizing the need for a more agile and automated solution, WHD engaged ZTI to implement Snowflake’s state-of-the-art cloud-native data platform, modernizing its data infrastructure and improving operational efficiency.

Implementing The First AI-Enabled Data Warehouse in DOL

ZTI introduced Snowflake’s cloud-native architecture to build a modern data warehouse, marking a major milestone for DOL. Key aspects of this implementation included:

Scalable Architecture

A dynamic platform for high-performance analytics, ensuring that WHD can scale with its growing data needs.

High Availability & Disaster Recovery

Industry-leading capabilities to ensure continuous data availability and resilience against disruptions.

Advanced Security

Encryption at rest and in transit, along with role-based access control (RBAC), ensures compliance with GDPR and HIPAA standards.

Integration with BI Tools

Seamlessly connects with Tableau and SAP BO for sophisticated data visualization and real-time insights.

Efficient Data Processing

Streamlined ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes for seamless integration of data from AWS data lakes and Oracle databases.

Enhanced AI Capabilities

Snowflake’s architecture supports AI-driven processes such as anomaly detection, further enhancing data analysis capabilities.

Driving Results for WHD

The Snowflake EDW has revolutionized WHD’s data management capabilities, delivering tangible improvements in operational efficiency and decision-making. The benefits include:

Enhanced Decision-Making

Access to real-time and historical data allows for faster, more informed business processes.

Increased Transparency

Publicly available reports, including labor certifications, contribute to better transparency.

Improved Productivity

Faster query results and shorter data pipelines lead to significant productivity gains.

Cost Savings

By retiring legacy systems, WHD has realized significant cost efficiencies.

A Future-Focused Data Strategy

Following the success of the Snowflake EDW, ZTI has continued its work with WHD, migrating critical enforcement and certification data. This includes records vital to compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), and more. Additionally, ongoing projects, including FOIA compliance and DB2 modernization, are positioning WHD for future data advancements.

Through this partnership, ZTI has established a Snowflake Center of Excellence at DOL, fostering continuous innovation and excellence in data management. This collaboration is paving the way for a more efficient, data-driven future for labor standards enforcement at the Department of Labor.
