Case Study: Hannover Re achieves faster, automated client onboarding with Actian DataConnect

Overcoming the Challenge of High-Volume Data Acquisition While On-Boarding New Customer

Hannover Re faced a growing challenge onboarding new clients because customer data arrived in many formats, from Excel and CSV files to TXT and ACCDB databases, making it difficult to ingest and transform information into its SAP-based Life Reinsurance module. Its custom-coded onboarding system could not keep up, slowing data access for business teams and requiring too much IT involvement.

Working with Actian, Hannover Re implemented Actian DataConnect to automate file ingestion, routing, validation, mapping, transformation, and loading into SAP. The result was faster, more accurate onboarding with far less manual work, plus better process visibility and restart capability for failed steps. Actian helped Hannover Re create a single, consistent data source so teams could access trustworthy information quickly and make better decisions.
