LGIM faced knotty data problems that hindered their operational efficiency across five critical areas. Data discovery and access were fragmented, making it difficult for teams to locate and retrieve information when needed. Data accuracy was another pain point, leading to challenges in maintaining the integrity of their analyses. Additionally, the organization struggled with identifying the right point of contact when concerns about data inaccuracies arose, creating delays and inefficiencies. Lastly, ensuring proper data usage was a persistent issue due to a lack of centralized oversight. LGIM needed a comprehensive, scalable solution to address these issues and unlock the full potential of their data assets without overburdening their workforce.
To solve these challenges, ITPro implemented a Data Marketplace built on the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). This automated, cutting-edge system brought all of LGIM’s disparate data into one centralized location. The solution enabled seamless aggregation of information across the organization, enhancing accessibility and visibility. Leveraging CDP’s robust architecture, ITPro ensured that the marketplace integrated smoothly with native tools like Kafka, Atlas, Hue, and Cloudera Data Visualization. These integrations empowered LGIM’s teams to explore, analyze, and act on their data efficiently. By providing an out-of-the-box system, ITPro delivered a cost-effective solution that eliminated the need for a specialized workforce to create and maintain a bespoke system.
