Case Study

Renewing the concept of the data warehouse

Achieving better performance and security for online services thanks to the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse.

Scenario

Verti Assicurazioni, an online insurance company, has embarked on a technological renewal programme to consolidate and expand its position in the insurance landscape. The goal is to re-engineer, simplify and optimise operational and business processes, while maintaining performance flexibility, system scalability and the safeguarding of security-related aspects.

For these reasons, Verti has launched a project aimed at renewing the company’s end-to-end Data Warehouse. The solution takes advantage of the latest Cloud technologies and the so-called Oracle Autonomous paradigm in order to maximise the security of the entire infrastructure.

Solution

Red Reply accompanied Verti in its renewal programme, identifying the Oracle PaaS Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADWH) technology as the solution best suited to the needs of the insurance company. ADWH in fact completely revolutionises the warehouse concept due to the introduction of automation, designed to dramatically reduce all those time and resource-intensive tasks typical of a database.

On the data side, the new “Data Vault 2.0” model was selected for structuring the company’s data within the Data Warehouse. This approach made it possible to redefine the company’s full range of corporate information assets, making it flexible and responsive to different business needs and facilitating the introduction of Machine Learning algorithms to conduct different types of analysis.

Why Red Reply

To complete the solution, Red Reply, a specialised Oracle Managed Service Provider, implemented a set of customised services, ranging from monitoring to system and data backup, disaster recovery and resilience, aimed at guaranteeing reliability, high quality and maximum performance. By entrusting these services to Red Reply, Verti recognised the company’s ability to best tackle these aspects, relying on automated mechanisms and maintaining a high standard of data protection in accordance with the recent GDPR Regulation.
