Case Study: Aon achieves faster data ingestion and modernized DataOps with IBM StreamSets

Aon Leveraging Data to Enhance Business Operations & Customer Experience

Aon, a global risk consulting firm serving clients across Commercial Risk, Health, Reinsurance, and Wealth, needed modern DataOps to build a global environment for batch and near‑real‑time processing of proprietary data. To support hundreds of data engineers and analysts, Aon sought multi‑tenancy, broad connector support, and a low‑code ETL experience — needs it addressed by adopting the IBM StreamSets platform, including StreamSets Control Hub for pipeline development and governance.

IBM StreamSets enabled Aon to build and manage resilient pipelines that clean and augment data in flight, connect to destinations like Snowflake, and enforce role‑based isolation for dozens of teams. The result: data ingestion lead times that once took months have been reduced to weeks or less, faster team onboarding, elimination of the need for dedicated per‑team infrastructure, improved time from ideation to data exploration, and measurable cost and operational scale benefits.
