Case Study: Assurance achieves faster time-to-insight and higher conversion rates with Starburst Data

Assurance reduces time-to-insight, cuts costs, and boosts customer conversion rates with Starburst

Assurance, the online insurance platform, needed a faster way to join data across multiple Postgres databases, an AWS S3 data lake, and other sources so its data science and BI teams could move beyond backlog-driven ETL work. By partnering with Starburst Data and using Starburst Enterprise with Trino, Assurance aimed to reduce time-to-insight and improve access to the data powering product recommendations, dashboards, and reporting.

Starburst Data helped Assurance federate queries across disparate sources, strengthen security, and support faster model development and real-time analytics. The results were significant: time-to-insight dropped from weeks or months to days, query performance improved by 20%-30%, conversion rates increased by 10%+ basis points, and one major recurring cost was reduced by about 40%.
