With data volumes increasing to billions of lines and more employees demanding access, analysis took hours to complete, with queries often suddenly abandoned. The team had to manually create data packages and load them one after the other, pulling in data from multiple data warehouses. SBK needed a DataMigrator- and QlikView-compatible database to integrate data into reports for analysis, while complying with privacy regulations.
Exasol is SBK’s central data warehouse in a 5+1 cluster configuration. The insurer’s previous data warehouse migrated to Exasol within three hours.
