Solution Highlights
Our scalable data ingestion framework effectively onboards new insurance carriers and ingests data into the Hadoop ecosystem’s data layers. Here’s a quick overview of its key components:
Sources: Claims files from insurance providers are stored on Google Drive and Box, while the claims to incident map files from the actuarial team are stored on Google Drive. The legal data is also extracted from Salesforce for further data processing. Through the deployment of containerized microservices and API-driven integration architecture, Indium rationalized provider onboarding, minimizing system reconfiguration efforts and achieving cost-effective scalability.
Data Layers:
Data Lake Creation: Data is extracted and quality-checked using the file check quality Python framework. Valid files are moved to the HDFS Data Lake.
Raw Layer: Data format is standardized for a consistent single source of truth and loaded into raw tables.
Processed Layer: Data is extracted, transformed, and standardized as per agreed rules, then loaded into processed tables.Consolidation Layer: Using Python, Data from different providers’ tables are consolidated and linked to legal/incident information using fuzzy name matching.
Indium implemented automated ETL pipelines leveraging data standardization algorithms, reducing manual intervention in data preparation, resulting in optimized resource allocation and improved operational focus.
Data Validation & Reconciliation: This robust framework developed using Python verifies financials and checks for data accuracy, increasing the overall process’s competence.
By integrating anomaly detection models and real-time data validation scripts, Indium expedited data quality assessments, accelerating the insurance claim onboarding process and facilitating swift data-driven insights.
Exploratory Analysis and Visualization: The client gains insights into incidents and claims patterns using Hive/Presto for queries and Tableau for visualizations. Utilizing advanced predictive modeling and robust data visualization tools, Indium empowered the client to extract actionable insights from claims data, enabling dynamic pricing strategies and optimizing risk assessment protocols for premium negotiation.
This framework streamlines data handling, ensuring accurate insights and effective decision-making.
