Case Study: Middle Eastern Insurance Company achieves zero-day analytics and faster market insights with Informatica

The Middle Eastern Insurance Company Draws Deep Insights into the Insurance Market

The Middle Eastern Insurance Company, headquartered in Israel and one of the region’s largest insurers with more than 3 million customers, needed faster, more flexible analytics to personalize service and respond to a changing market. Its legacy BI left much data undocumented and hard to find—including unstructured customer forms—causing delays for data scientists and analysts when locating, ingesting, and preparing assets for analysis.

By deploying Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog alongside Data Engineering Integration and Enterprise Data Preparation, the insurer automated metadata scanning (including IBM Cognos), built a Python-based ingestion utility to populate a governed Hadoop data lake, and enabled self-service data preparation. The result is zero‑day time to market for analytics projects, significantly reduced effort to find and ready data, faster market insights that improve decision-making and competitiveness, and easier compliance management.
