A large European insurance company with annual revenues exceeding USD 11 billion faced significant hurdles managing its complex database environment. The company utilized multiple analytics platforms — Snowflake, Azure SQL Server, Oracle, and Data Virtuality — but struggled with manual, error-prone CI/CD and database change management processes. Globally distributed development teams found it nearly impossible to coordinate deployments effectively without automation.

Challenge

The Challenge: Manual Management & Global Coordination

  • Complex Platform Integration

    — Managing database changes across Snowflake, Azure SQL Server, Oracle, and Data Virtuality was resource-intensive and error-prone.

  • Manual CI/CD Processes

    — The manual approach to CI/CD and database change management was slow and error-prone, complicating agile workflows and causing deployment delays.

  • Distributed Teams

    — Development teams spread across multiple locations working simultaneously made coordinating manual deployments nearly impossible.

Manual deployments were a major bottleneck, consuming far too much time and effort. It felt like we were always struggling to keep up.
