A Pivotal Case Study
Companhia de Seguros Tranquilidade is a leading Portuguese insurer founded in 1871 with a nationwide network of corporate, franchise and agent stores serving over 600,000 clients. The company struggled with a complex legacy data architecture—SAS files spread across eight departmental data marts—which made reporting slow, error-prone and available only to technical specialists, forcing monthly reports that took up to 48 hours to generate.
Tranquilidade implemented the Pivotal Greenplum Database, consolidating raw data into a single, scalable MPP data warehouse that simplified access and enabled department-wide querying. As a result query times fell from 48 hours to under an hour, reporting cadence moved from monthly to daily (and some reports to weekly), external partners gained near-real-time access, Big Data integration and predictive analytics became possible, and reporting costs and turnaround times were significantly reduced.
