Case Study: Swiss Reinsurance Firm cuts risk-reporting lead times from weeks to hours and accelerates releases with Denodo Technologies' Denodo Platform

A Swiss Reinsurance Firm Leveraged the Denodo Platform to Launch New Products

A global Swiss reinsurance firm—one of the oldest and largest in the industry with offices in 25+ countries and a Forbes 2000 listing—faced growing regulatory complexity and faster market demands (especially across Asia) that its legacy Oracle-based data warehouse and slow ETL release cycle could not meet. The risk management department needed near‑real‑time, centralized access to data, faster release cadence, and automation to reduce multi‑week lead times and improve customer satisfaction during a cloud migration.

The company adopted a data vault model, metadata management and the Denodo Platform for data virtualization after a rapid proof‑of‑concept. This enabled minutes‑to‑hours integration of new sources, fast prototyping and iterative user feedback, reduced report turnaround from 2–3 weeks to a few hours, supported continuous controlled releases (up to ~10/day), and increased user satisfaction; the Denodo layer also decoupled front‑end stability from back‑end changes and is now used across five departments.
