Case Study: nib Group achieves faster data discovery and stronger governance with Select Star

How nib Achieved Data Discovery with Select Star

nib Group, a major Australian health insurer, faced significant challenges managing its complex and rapidly growing data ecosystem after migrating to a modern data warehouse. With over 10,000 data tables, the company struggled with poor visibility, difficult data lineage, redundant datasets, and meeting stringent governance and compliance requirements. This lack of clarity made it difficult for business users to find and trust data, placing a heavy burden on the data team.

To tackle this, nib implemented Select Star's data discovery platform. The solution provided automated column-level lineage, intuitive search to identify redundancy, and enhanced tagging for governance. This resulted in a 90% increase in efficiency for the analytics team, the decommissioning of over 100 redundant tables and dashboards, and significantly improved data transparency and compliance, fully supporting nib's migration to new data pipelines.
