Scalefree  Case Studies Identifying Data Quality Issues with a One-Day-Sprint Approach

About the Client

A car insurance company wanted to have higher data quality and faster system response times when reporting. Additionally, they wanted to create a system which had the ability to store the data.

Problem Statement

The current use of the system was not sufficient due to the following reasons:

  • A data management problem which resulted in more work and time waste for the client
  • The system in place had problems with changing structures and therefore the effort in keeping it updated was too great
  • Data quality issues and scalability problems led to the system reaching its limits
  •  Switching to another option was more cost intensive

The Challenge

The client was facing different challenges that needed to be addressed with Scalefree: 

  • A more sophisticated system was needed to provide the information required 
  • More in-depth technical knowledge was needed which was not provided by the internal workforce
  • It was necessary to have quicker testing of the operation and systems
  • It was required to make better use of the information that was available to them

The Solution

The client selected Scalefree as its consulting partner and performed a One Day Sprint to achieve higher data quality. Within this setting, exemplary data was used to show the Data Vault approach which could be used to resolve the problems the client was facing:

  • Virtual Data Vault used to show the data model
  • This approach was able to adjust to modifying structures in the data
  • Showed problems in file formatting and a business key problem

Tangible Results for the Client

 With the use of the One Day Sprint the client learned how to: 

  • Optimize timings and fix data quality
  • Focus on developing new features
  • Make better use of their information 
  • Reduce their costs due to less effort with the new system 
  • Adjust the processes currently in use
