Description

• Client distributes its Insurance & Assistance products in 33 countries mostly in B2B and B2B2C through a range of partners going from large Insurance corporations to small travel agencies.
• Flawless business & technical integration with these partners is key to enable the growth of client.
• Furthermore, B2C business, through limited now, represents an opportunity to showcase our innovation capabilities and digital sales expertise while generating additional revenue streams.
• Data is a key part of client’s journey « from Payer to Partner », and its transformation to a Data Driven company. To support its growth and its global ambition, Client has defined a decentralized operating model for data, appointing data teams in Business Units and geographies to be responsible for the proper deployment of data strategy closer to business owners. This covers Data Management (policies and procedures to comply with security and regulatory standards), Analytics (leveraging data for business performance) and Culture (onboarding all employees in data journey).
• The Central Data Office manage the framework (IT capabilities, tools, methodology, standards, operating model) when usages (data marts, reports etc.) are managed by the deconcentrated teams.
• The Data Platforms (Datalake and reporting + advanced data analytics capabilities) are the corner stone of the strategy where data of all Client entities are centralized and from where reports, dashboards, analysis, predictions etc. are spread out.
• Current On-premise Cloudera Hadoop Datalake is to be decommissioned by the end of 2020, and so a migration project to the target platform in the Azure Cloud of the different applications and usages is required. It will have many dimensions (definition and validation of migration strategy, inventory of current usages, applicative migrations, double-run, change plans for users etc.) and many challenges on process, people and technology.
