Case Study: United Community Banks accelerates data innovation with Coalesce

United Community Banks Accelerates Innovation With Smarter Approach to Data

United Community Banks, Inc. (UCBI), a South Carolina-based banking organization, was dealing with siloed and fragmented data spread across multiple on-prem SQL Server environments, along with legacy tooling that made it hard to scale and give teams a clear view of available data. To modernize its stack, the bank turned to Coalesce for data transformation alongside Snowflake.

With Coalesce at the core of its rebuilt data stack, United Community Banks adopted Snowflake as its single source of truth and used Coalesce to accelerate migration and transformation work. The results included a 75% reduction in time to model complex JSON files, 4x faster Parquet file loading, and 2x node creation with templates, helping the team move faster, reduce manual effort, and improve data quality upstream.
