Landscape with swirly light effect in the sky

Transforming Data Infrastructure and Governance for Future-Ready Scalability

When data complexity threatened to impede growth at a leading global insurer, we revolutionised their EDM infrastructure.

The Challenge

Our team was engaged by a global insurance company with $122 billion AUM to address data management challenges and modernize their infrastructure. Through strategic planning and expert implementation, we delivered impactful results that laid the foundation for future scalability and data governance.

Our Approach

Our approach focused on reducing technical debt and increasing system efficiency, all while laying the groundwork for robust data governance. By aligning each phase with future cloud migration requirements, we ensured a scalable, resilient data environment.

S&P IHS Markit EDM Re-design and Implementation: Re-designed the existing S&P IHS Markit EDM system, focusing on efficiency and alignment with long-term data strategies. This included configuring and implementing the Core Matcher function to ensure more precise data matching and streamlined workflows.
Technical Debt Reduction: Reduced the technical debt payload, simplifying processes and enhancing system performance.
Performance Gains in BlackRock Aladdin Integration: Improved performance in loading and unloading BlackRock Aladdin files, creating smoother data operations and faster processing times.
Data Governance and Observability with Collibra: Promoted best practices in data lineage, governance, and observability by connecting the system with Collibra, ensuring transparent and traceable data processes.
Scalability for Cloud Migration: Scaled up the EDM implementation, establishing a cloud-ready state to future-proof the company’s data infrastructure for upcoming migrations.

The Results

Enhanced Data Efficiency: The re-designed EDM system led to optimized data processes, reducing time and resources spent on data management.
Stronger Data Governance and Compliance: By connecting with Collibra, we fostered a culture of data governance, ensuring robust practices in data lineage and observability, which will support ongoing compliance and accuracy.
Improved System Performance: Performance gains in BlackRock Aladdin integrations provided faster data loading and unloading, supporting efficient and agile operations.
Future-Proofed Infrastructure: With a scalable and cloud-ready EDM system, the insurance company is now well-prepared for future cloud migrations and evolving data demands.
