Case Study: Generali China Life Insurance achieves a unified BI platform, faster reporting and reduced labor costs with Informatica

Informatica Solutions Plays a Vital Role in the Construction of Generali China Life Insurance’s Business Intelligence (BI) Platform

Generali China Life Insurance, a joint venture founded in 2002 with a nationwide branch network and nearly CNY 50 billion in assets, faced growing pains as business systems multiplied and data volumes surged. Disparate data platforms, inconsistent report definitions and slow, resource‑intensive report generation were creating high labor costs, undue pressure on operational systems and limited timely decision support for management.

Generali built a unified BI platform—using Informatica PowerCenter for data integration, an Oracle data warehouse and MicroStrategy for front‑end analysis—implemented in about a year. The solution centralized data, standardized metrics and accelerated reporting from hours to seconds, cutting report staff from 50+ to about 10, lowering costs and risks, and enabling faster, more accurate decision‑making and scalable analytics across the company.
