The Key Challenge:
Before Infostrux's involvement, the MGA was grappling with data fragmentation. They needed help consolidating data from different sources, leading to confusion and inefficiency. The need for a unified source of accurate data became apparent.
The Transformative Solution:
Infostrux's approach involved utilizing tools like Snowflake Data Cloud, dbt, and PowerBI to craft a cohesive data ecosystem. Leveraging our Zero-to-Dashboard solution, this wasn't just about storing data but empowering non-technical users to generate insightful reports effortlessly.
Before this new solution, the client was dealing with the following issues when it came to the visibility of its data:
- Needing to access multiple systems for insurance & investment information with no consolidated MGA, client, or product reporting
- Lacking client-level data in the book of business reports to be able to look for opportunities to grow booking of business via cross-sell/upsell
- Poor provider user experience and user interface
- Limitations in terms of when they could run some reports due to performance and reliability issues
- Lack of the ability to easily integrate third-party data points or share data outside of the client's data warehouse
- Minimal documentation on the MGAs' data architecture, ETL processes, and data sources
