Project context & strategic challenges
The project was prompted by the challenges inherent in the insurance sector, which is characterized by both fierce competition and strict regulation. Altima Insurance was looking to improve its ability to comply with regulatory standards, in particular those of the Solvency 2 directive, which require optimal data quality.
The strategic challenges were numerous, including
- Ensuring regulatory compliance, in particular data quality and reporting to supervisory authorities
- Improving customer experience to remain competitive in the insurance market
- Making informed decisions
- Managing risk and preventing fraud, to ensure business continuity
Altima Insurance therefore began a “Data Quality” project, with a focus on regulatory compliance. The main objectives of this project were
- Set up a Solvency 2-compliant data repository
- Develop data governance and data workflow modeling
- Involve all the company’s stakeholders in a data-driven approach.
- Integrate Altima’s entire information system, with a data catalog as a central, shared platform.
The Altima Insurance Data Knowledge Catalog
Altima chose the DataGalaxy solution for two main reasons:
- DataGalaxy’s rich functionalities, which covered all of Altima’s data management needs.
- DataGalaxy’s intuitive interface, which enabled rapid onboarding and agile use of the platform by anyone in the company, whatever their level of technical expertise.
The DataGalaxy implementation took place in 3 stages:
- A three-person full-time Data Quality project team was set up, including a project manager, a Business Analyst and a consultant specialized in organization and transformation.
- The data was divided into batches to spread out the workload progressively.
- At the same time, the team played a coordinating and evangelizing role with Altima employees on data quality.
An agile approach enabled DataGalaxy to be implemented progressively and methodically, adapted to the specific needs of the data and business teams, while ensuring effective involvement of the whole company in the project.
