About the Customer
Industry: Health Insurance
The client is one of the leading organizations in the health insurance domain, who has implemented a novel service – whenever people are unable to get health insurance, the company would provide an alternative of the insurance, wherein they can manage an initial conversation with the customer just in case any health issue arrives and provide proper guidance along with managing doctor’s visit also. Their powerful network and customer service empowers straight-forward access to reasonably priced healthcare for those not insured.

Key Challenges
The main key challenges are:
- Cater heterogenous data into a unified format and make dashboards or data visualizations depending on the data.
- Setup the entire BI stack starting from analysis till implementation, since the CRM system is already in place.
- The database design is in open source vtiger CRM, of which, we had little knowledge and hence a challenge to us.
- Development to be done in local environment, so rather than setting up the vtiger CRM, we had to replicate their test environment in SPEC INDIA premises.
- Once project development is done, deployment of the BI app on his server, with https certification in Pentaho.
- Adhoc analysis, for certain fact member and invoice which required separate cubes with row level security.
- Data Cleansing and Profiling, as vtiger was a third-party system and the entire data was fed by the data operator.
Data Source:
Data source is the vtiger CRM system, based on the MySQL database.
