DATA | CASE STUDY
Establish a Collaborative Data Governance Strategy
COMPANY OVERVIEW
A medical professional liability insurance company with clients and services spanning the U.S. that specializes in underwriting policies for physicians, dentists, advanced practices, clinics, and hospitals.
BUSINESS NEED
The client recognized a need for Advanced Analytics and Business Intelligence capabilities to create an information edge over the competition. In order to enable these analytics teams to develop as quickly and efficiently as possible, the client sought to enhance their existing data governance process. This process would ensure that analytic data would be trustworthy, consistent, and accurate, which would allow the analytics teams to focus all of their energy on problem solving, not data cleansing.
SOLUTION
Ironside identified the aforementioned opportunities in a previous technology strategy engagement as being foundational prerequisites for the company to realize its analytics goals. Ironside recommended the formation of an enterprise data governance group. The group would consist of all claims data constituents from multiple subsidiaries and would be able to discuss the state of the data quality and implement improvements. The engagement was made up of the following phases:
Identify Who Will Govern
Identify What to Govern
Teach How to Govern
Establish Accountability
KEYS TO SUCCESS
With Ironside’s help, the client enjoyed many benefits, which enabled them to:
DATA | CASE STUDY
Build an Enterprise Data Warehouse for Self-Service Analytics
COMPANY OVERVIEW
A multinational personal care company operating in 120 countries and regions around the world, producing cosmetics, fragrances, and hair & skin care products.
BUSINESS NEED
With the existing architecture and multiple siloed data marts, the client was not able to provide complete, accurate and timely business insights to stakeholders across functional areas. They were also dealing with multiple reporting platforms inherited due to acquisitions, making it tough for the IT team to provide timely support. The client needed to design a high performing central data repository that would be open to future integrations and drive self-service analytics through an enterprise-level analytics platform.
SOLUTION
The Ironside Information Management team designed and implemented an enterprise data warehouse from multiple source systems to integrate cross functional and brand data across the Americas region. The solution included:
Assess the Architecture
Discovery & Analysis
Design & Develop
Mentor & Collaborate
KEYS TO SUCCESS
With the new data warehouse implementation, the client achieved the following benefits:
“We can easily write automated reports without any help from IT teams, and we trust the data too.”
“Earlier my month end report took over 3 hours, but with the new data warehouse it runs in under 15 minutes.”
