Case Study: The AA achieves sub-second insurance quotes and top comparison-site rankings with Actian's Avalanche Cloud Data Platform
A Actian Case Study
Split -Second Response Time Moves UK Insurance Carrier to the Top of Customer’s Lists
The AA, a trusted UK roadside assistance leader that expanded into automotive insurance, faced a critical speed challenge: comparison sites drop or demote quotes returned after two seconds. To win business, the AA needed to enrich applicant data, underwrite risk accurately, and deliver competitive, risk‑balanced quotes in well under a second.
By deploying the Avalanche Cloud Data Platform on AWS as a hybrid solution, the AA analyzes applicant-supplied and third‑party data in real time and returns quotes in about 400 milliseconds. The platform’s high-concurrency, in-memory analytics lets pricing teams and BI users work without affecting online quoting, helping the AA consistently rank among the top comparison-site results and grow to nearly half a million policies.
