Features customer success story

DWH optimization solution for an insurance company

A multi-line business insurance company aimed to implement a data warehouse solution for managing its claims operations. They used MS SQL server, and the source systems were a popular multi-line claims system, ERP systems, home-grown applications, AS400, and mainframe systems. They also had multiple feeds coming in from business sources and digitized forms. They had around 150 TB of data, and the ETL processes that extracted data from these sources took over 30-36 hours, as opposed to an overnight processing requirement.

The extended data load time impacted operational dashboards and reports, impacting timely operational decision-making. The ETL processes were not designed well for exception handling and they lacked an efficient recovery process. This resulted in data quality and integrity issues.

Data load reduced from 36 hours to 6 hours

ETL process was redesigned and optimized

Data process was remodeled and re-sequenced

Corrected errors in the historical data

FAQs 

What is an enterprise data warehouse?

An enterprise data warehouse is a centralized and structured data repository, which holds the enterprise’s business data, including information on the customers. The EDW gathers the enterprise data and makes it available for analysis, business intelligence and data-driven decision making.  

EDWs contain current data, such as real-time feeds or the latest snapshots from the source systems, as well as historical data. Enterprises consistently store final, nonredundant business information in one place making it the single accessible version of truth, with regards to enterprise data.  

Why do enterprises need a data warehouse?

Data warehouses are the central data store within your company. It is the single version of truth for your enterprise data. It systematically stores, sorts and eliminates redundancies in the data.  

Enterprise data warehouses enable enterprises to run analysis on huge volumes of data. It ensures consistency of collected data, lets enterprise make better business decisions and improve their bottom line.  

How do I know if my organization needs a data warehouse?

If your enterprise operates in a highly competitive industry, has vast amounts of data, has trouble with the integration of widely dispersed and siloed data, you could benefit from implementing a data warehouse.  

Difference between a data warehouse and a data mart?

A data warehouse centrally stores data from varied sources to provide meaningful business insights. Data in a data warehouse is extracted from several functional units. It is then checked, cleansed and integrated with the data warehouse system. Data warehouses use fast computing systems that have large storage capacities, which help it answer complex queries relating to data.  

A data mart is a focused form of a data warehouse which holds data for a specific department or line of business. It draws data from sources like an internal operational system, external operational system or the central data warehouse. It is meant to serve a specific community and is designed to meet its needs. Data marts are usually controlled department wise.  

How often should I refresh data in the data warehouse?

Enterprises must update their data warehouses regularly so that the information derived from it is current. Refresh is the process of updating the data.  

How long does it take to implement a data warehouse infrastructure?

It is possible to deliver an operational cloud data warehouse loaded with all source data in close to 8 to 12 weeks, if you have your data properly sorted and the perfect plan in place.  

How do you support system migrations?

System migrations are part of technology modernization, where the process involves transferring old IT systems to new hardware infrastructure or the cloud infrastructure.  

Whereas migrating data to a data warehouse means a change in storage, database or application. In the context of extract/transform/load (ETL) processes, we help enterprises use extract, transform and load software or processes to read and extract data from sources, process it in the data warehouse and ensure optimal results.
