The Challenge

The client faced multiple challenges around traditional data management, which marred their growth journey. The company wanted to embark on a growth strategy through data and machine learning to explore and learn customer behaviors and improve customer experience. Their existing ecosystem could not capture diverse data types, generate comprehensive insights, or integrate data with decision-making. The large sets of data in different formats across different platforms created key challenges like:

  • Lack of a unified data platform to meet the varied analytical needs of the organization
  • Managing vast amounts of data from potential application domains like insurance claim settlements
  • Meeting the needs of the end-users on time
The Solution
