a major insurer modernizes data platforms in 4 months with EXL

A major insurer faced challenges with a complex multi-platform data environment and sought to modernize its data infrastructure. The vendor EXL guided the customer in migrating from a cloud data warehouse to a unified data lakehouse on Databricks to simplify operations and reduce costs.

EXL implemented a step-by-step migration strategy, consolidating two separate cloud platforms into a single Databricks lakehouse. The solution utilized Databricks features like liquid clustering and Unity Catalog for governance. Within four months, the project achieved reduced data workload, significant cost savings, better compliance, and simplified maintenance.
