Case Study: Deutsche Familienversicherung AG achieves faster analytics and improved customer service with Actian Vectorwise

Deutsche Familienversicherung Boosts Customer Service and Operational Performance with Vectorwise

Deutsche Familienversicherung AG (DFV AG), a leading German insurer, needed a stable, future‑proof, cost‑efficient data warehousing solution to handle rapidly growing and increasingly complex master data while integrating with its existing commercial open‑source BI and ETL stack. Fast, reliable analytics and reporting were critical to improving customer service and maintaining a competitive edge.

After a comprehensive proof‑of‑concept and a three‑month test with Actian support, DFV selected Actian Vectorwise — a vector‑based, high‑performance analytical database. Vectorwise delivered significant performance gains over the previous non‑columnar system, reduced the need for strict table optimization, supported ad‑hoc and near‑real‑time analyses, and is expected to improve customer service and strengthen DFV’s competitive position.
