Overview

Solvon Insurance is a US based insurer, offering health, life, and motor coverage. Its analytics ran on a legacy Teradata warehouse where scaling meant a new hardware purchase each time, reports slowed when teams queried together, and each product line defined its data differently, so the same metric varied by source. Bacancy migrated the warehouse to Snowflake, gave each team its own compute, standardized the data across all three lines, and rebuilt every access rule with column-level security and masking. Analytics ran 60% faster, peak-hour failures ended, and the legacy warehouse was retired without disrupting operations.

The Challenges

1

The Teradata warehouse ran on fixed capacity, with compute and storage locked together. As claims and policyholder data grew, adding more capacity meant a hardware upgrade each time.

2

The legacy warehouse could not handle many users at once. When claims processing and underwriting teams ran reports together, the system slowed, and some reports failed to load.

3

Data was fragmented across the health, life, and motor insurance products. Each line defined its fields differently, so the same metric often came out differently depending on the source.

4

The warehouse held sensitive policyholder data across every product line, which could not be exposed during the move, and every access rule had to be rebuilt on Snowflake exactly as before.

Solutions by Bacancy

1

Our Snowflake migration experts migrated the warehouse to Snowflake, separating storage and compute. This enabled storage to scale as data volumes grew, while compute was sized per job, eliminating the need for hardware upgrades.

2

Bacancy’s Snowflake developers assigned separate compute to claims, underwriting, and reporting. The three teams could run their reports at the same time without slowing each other down.

3

Our data engineers standardized the data during the migration. Every field was mapped to one definition, and the old BTEQ and ETL logic was rebuilt in dbt. The same metric matched across health, life, and motor insurance.

4

Through our insurance IT services, we encrypted policyholder data before migrating it to Snowflake and rebuilt every access rule using column-level security and masking, so each user saw only the claims and policy data that their role allowed.
