Exasol Data Warehouse
Helsana’s outdated data infrastructure posed significant obstacles to agility and competitiveness in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Disparate business units relied on various reporting tools and fragmented data warehouses, leading to inefficiencies and complexity.
Helsana decided to consolidate its fragmented data and analytics infrastructure onto a single platform, underpinned by consistent standards, centralized governance, and metadata-driven automation. The adoption of Exasol’s Data Warehouse, alongside WhereScape for ETL and MicroStrategy for self-service reporting, streamlined operations and unleashed newfound agility.
Exasol delivered 5-10x faster performance compared to the previous platform, significantly reducing query and dashboard loading times. Users reported real-time responses and eliminated waiting times.
The transformation reduced Helsana’s license and maintenance fees by 65% in its first year. Additionally, the migration to Exasol was completed within a year, significantly reducing operational costs and resource utilization compared to previous implementations.
Exasol Data Warehouse serves as the central repository and high-performance engine for Helsana’s AI use cases, empowering them to conduct deeper exploratory analysis and paving the way for AI-driven data visualization and reporting.
