Modernising Lenders Mortgage Insurance
with Snowflake
Project: The successful transition from a legacy on-premise system to a cloud native Snowflake solution demonstrated the value of embracing modern technology to drive business growth and efficiency.
Challenges
Data Silos: Data was scattered across various departments, leading to siloed information and inefficiencies in decision-making processes.
Scalability Issues: As the company grew, the legacy system struggled to scale, leading to slow data processing times and performance bottlenecks.
Data Security and Compliance: Compliance with Australian financial regulations and data security standards was increasingly challenging to maintain with the outdated infrastructure.
Lack of Real-time Insights: Access to real-time data and analytics was limited, preventing the company from responding swiftly to market changes and customer demands.
Cost and Maintenance: The high costs associated with maintaining the legacy system were a significant concern for the company's bottom line.
Solutions
To achieve these objectives, our team proposed a comprehensive data modernisation strategy centered around Snowflake, a cloud-native data platform known for its scalability, security, and real-time analytics capabilities.
Cloud Migration: We helped the client migrate their data from on-premise servers to Snowflake's cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition without data loss or downtime.
Data Integration: We integrated data from various sources, including transactional systems, customer databases, and external data feeds, into Snowflake's data warehouse.
Real-time Analytics: Snowflake's capabilities were leveraged to build real-time dashboards and reporting tools, enabling the client to make data-driven decisions promptly.
Cost Optimisation: By leveraging Snowflake's pay-as-you-go pricing model, we helped the client optimise their IT expenses and reduce the total cost of ownership.
"Intelligen's willingness to come and be really honest, and call us out when we weren't always thinking about it the right way got us to a point where we not only could execute quickly but we were able to achieve all of the objectives we set for ourselves on that piece of work."
