A specialist savings and mortgage provider, needed to consolidate its data from numerous siloed systems into a centralised data warehouse. The objective was to create a “single source of truth” to empower their analytics teams and improve enterprise-wide reporting capabilities.

The Challenge

The bank’s critical data was locked in fragmented, independent systems, preventing aggregated analysis and hindering strategic decision-making across its business arms. They required a robust and scalable modern data platform to ingest daily data feeds and provide a unified view of their operations.

The Solution

To address the challenge, we partnered with the client to implement a next-generation data architecture based on Microsoft Azure and modern engineering principles.

Key Implementation Components:

  • Built a new Azure data warehouse with DevOps best practices.
  • Azure SQL Managed Instance enabled seamless transitions and future scalability.
  • Automated ELT pipelines ingested daily CSV data with integrity.
  • Proactive 24/7 monitoring and automated maintenance were established.
  • Database schema was version-controlled for stable deployments.

The Outcomes

The project successfully established a foundational data platform for the bank. Key outcomes include:

  • Single Source of Truth: By centralising all disparate data sources, the bank eliminated data siloes and established a reliable, authoritative Single Source of Truth
  • Stable and Scalable Platform: The new architecture provides a robust and reliable data warehouse environment
  • Internal Team Upskilling: A significant benefit was the upskilling of the internal technology team
