A leading property and casualty insurer used Astera Data Pipeline and cut new client implementation time from 16-20 weeks to just 2 weeks.
A leading global property and casualty insurer recognized the need to modernize its data management processes to stay competitive and ensure operational efficiency. With over 6,000 employees, the company relied on diverse data, including HR, sales, MDM, finance, reporting, and unstructured files. Efficiently managing and analyzing these datasets was crucial for supporting extensive operations and maintaining its reputation for excellence.
Before implementing Astera Data Pipeline, the insurer faced significant challenges with its existing ETL systems. The company used Informatica and legacy SSIS code for data management, which proved to be inefficient and inflexible for scaling operations.
They sought a solution to establish consistent ETL and data management standards across the enterprise, streamlining development processes and significantly improving the company ability to manage data challenges efficiently.
The transition to Astera modernized their data processes, achieving greater efficiency and flexibility. They chose Astera Data Pipeline for its robust capabilities in handling diverse datasets. The tool flexibility allowed efficient management and analysis of data, from small datasets with under 100 records to large datasets exceeding 200+ million records per job.
Astera Data Pipeline addressed several critical business needs. It excelled in processing unstructured data and facilitating ETL processes for both financial and non-financial systems. The tool auditability features were also crucial, providing comprehensive tracking and logging of data processes.
The implementation had a significant impact on operations, particularly in reducing costs for ETL development and maintenance. Astera accelerated the new client implementation cycle from 16-20 weeks to just 2 weeks. Furthermore, Astera enabled the insurer to establish a unified enterprise-wide SFTP process with a 95% reduction in both time and management costs.
“Previously, our ETL team required 16 to 20 weeks for this process. With the introduction of Astera, we have successfully condensed this timeline to just 2 weeks, with the involvement of a single development resource.”
“Thanks to Astera, we have successfully established a unified enterprise-wide SFTP process. This implementation has led to an impressive 95% reduction in both time requirements and associated management cost.”
