Case Study: Protective Life achieves improved information quality with Idera ER/Studio

Protective Life Created an Enterprise Data Dictionary to Improve Information Quality

Protective Life, a long-established insurance and investment company, needed a better way to standardize database design, improve data governance, and support collaboration across distributed IT teams. The company’s existing modeling approach was underused and inefficient, making it difficult to manage data lineage, centralize information, and meet strict compliance requirements. Protective Life selected Idera’s ER/Studio Enterprise to create a more effective enterprise data management environment.

Idera implemented ER/Studio Enterprise to centralize models in a shared repository, enable collaboration, improve data lineage tracking, and support an enterprise-wide data dictionary. The results were significant: Protective Life reduced compliance data compilation time from 12 man-months to about 25 minutes, improved information quality and visibility, and strengthened communication across business units.
