Texas Mutual's Data Quality Challenge
Achieving and maintaining data quality within an organization is challenging and can be very hard to achieve organically. Like many other organizations, Texas Mutual Insurance recently embarked on the journey to modernize their data platform, and as part of that journey, increase the quality of their data, with the ultimate goal of improving trust in the data with key stakeholders.
Texas Mutual developed "Guiding Principles" to ensure they achieved their goal:
- Expand the breadth and depth of data testing across the data ecosystem
- Leverage "Day 1 Automation" for efficiency
- "Move Testing Left" to empower more departments
- Improve data transparency for stakeholders
Texas Mutual turned to Resultant (formerly Teknion Data Solutions) and Validatar, an automated data quality and data testing solution, for assistance.
Validatar Solution Highlight
Having worked with Texas Mutual on building out their Cloud data warehouse, Resultant was able to build upon our deep understanding of the data warehouse architecture and opportunities to leverage WhereScape, the metadata-driven ELT automation tool to expand Texas Mutual’s data testing capabilities.
Resultant introduced Validatar to the Texas Mutual team, demonstrating its capabilities in automating and expanding data testing capabilities, improving data quality and helping to improve trust in the data.
Key Validatar features utilized by Texas Mutual include:
- Data Discovery & Data Profiling revealing what data is available and a better understanding of that data
- Metadata monitoring and reporting to increase downstream data transparency
- Out-of-the-box templates for consistent and predictable testing methodologies, improving efficiency and breadth of testing
- Automated test scheduling, expanding testing capabilities to 24/7/365
By leveraging Validatar, bringing automation and a comprehensive data testing solution, Texas Mutual was able to dramatically expand their data testing capabilities, leveraging centralized test scripts and automated test scheduling, using existing staff and providing increased data quality and transparency.
