Case Study: Affinity Federal Credit Union achieves self-service BI and 10x faster data access with AtScale

Affinity Federal Credit Union Embraces Self-Service Business Intelligence

Affinity Federal Credit Union faced slow, manual analytics driven by legacy tools and an outsourced CUSO “analytics as a service” model that created a layer of “human middleware,” limiting timely, governed access to data. To enable broad self-service BI and analytics modernization, AFCU selected AtScale and its semantic layer to provide centralized, consistent metrics and governed access across tools like Tableau and Excel.

AtScale implemented a semantic layer that unified models, calculations, dimensions, access controls and governance in one place, shielding users from data complexity and enabling both advanced data science and non-technical “citizen” analysts. The result: faster, governed analytics—expediting data access by 10x—supporting insights across $3.5 billion in assets and 185K+ members, wider Tableau deployment, and measurable improvements in business agility and decision-making.
