Guardrisk was grappling with several data management challenges. Their data was scattered across multiple silos, leading to inconsistencies and inaccuracies. This fragmented data landscape made it difficult for Guardrisk to derive reliable insights and make informed decisions. Additionally, the lack of robust data governance practices posed compliance risks and eroded stakeholder trust.
The Solution
Guardrisk recognized the need for a comprehensive solution to address their data challenges and began exploring options. After evaluating various solutions, they chose CluedIn's modern master data management (MDM) platform for its ability to integrate structured and unstructured data, automate data cleansing, and implement strong data governance practices. Another key factor that was cited for Guardrisk choosing CluedIn, was the most native and seamless integration with Microsoft technologies - meaning that time would be greatly reduced with CluedIn sliding into their technology stack without any issues.
Robert Brown, Enterprise Architect at Guardrisk, noted, 'The graph-based system provided by CluedIn made it incredibly easy to ingest and map our data, as well as define a data model that works for us.'
CluedIn worked closely with Guardrisk's IT and data teams, providing tailored support and a customized implementation plan that aligned with their strategic goals. This collaborative approach ensured a seamless integration process with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
The Results
The results of implementing CluedIn's MDM platform have been transformative for Guardrisk. They are successfully unifying their disparate data sources, creating a single source of truth that enhances their decision-making processes. The automated data cleansing capabilities is significantly improving data quality, resulting in a substantial reduction in errors.
