Engineering the Future of Data: How KINTELIX Built the Data Engineering Practice for a Global Leader in Specialty Insurance

When a global leader in specialty insurance and reinsurance faced a fragmented, slow, and siloed data environment, the stakes were high. Policy and claims data were scattered across disparate systems, analytics were bottlenecked by IT, and decision‑makers lacked the timely insights needed to act with confidence.

KINTELIX saw an opportunity, not just to modernize technology, but to fundamentally transform how this client harnessed its information assets. That vision became the Data Engineering Practice.

From Strategic Vision to Enterprise Capability

Partnering with the client, KINTELIX designed and delivered a comprehensive data engineering ecosystem that unified technology, governance, and business enablement.

Key achievements included:

• Unified Data Repository – Architected and deployed a single operational and analytical data store for all policy and claims data, creating a trusted “single source of truth” across the enterprise.

• Self‑Service Analytics – Implemented modern BI platforms that empowered business users to access and analyze data independently, accelerating decision‑making cycles.

• Data Engineering Framework – Developed a processing framework that improved data throughput by 90%, dramatically increasing the speed and reliability of insights.

• Enterprise Information Management Strategy – Established governance, policies, and processes to manage data as a strategic asset.

• Advanced Data Capabilities – Delivered enterprise‑wide Master Data Management, Metadata Management, Data Visualization Frameworks, CRM integration, and a Data Security Framework.

• Regulatory & Risk Alignment – Built systems to support compliance, risk prevention, and loss mitigation through automated data validation engines.
