CASE STUDY
Sparkflows at a large Healthcare Company
Company Objective
A very large healthcare insurance company operating in all states of US had a requirement to speed up business case development and boost overall productivity and engineering efficiencies.
The data engineers and analysts in each region need to be empowered with self-serve advanced analytics and deliver top quality results quickly .
Business Use Cases
Customer had identified several data engineering and bigdata analytics science use cases including
-
EHR data analysis
-
Patient Admission record analysis
-
Claims data analysis
Challenges
Complex & Time-Consuming Engineering process
The current data engineering processes are somewhat complex and time consuming. They involve a lots of local coding and little automation. Oftentimes lacks regulated process. Cloud automation and Compute Push-down are not easy to implement.
Business Use Cases
Customer had identified several data engineering and Big Data analytics science use cases including
EHR data analysis
Patient Admission record analysis
Claims data analysis
Getting Value Out of Data
Not enough Data Analytics and ML applications are currently in production. Hence, they need to be quickly built.
Hard to Collaborate
In the absence of a powerful Self-Service Co-development Platform, it is impossible to the users to collaborate.
Inability to scale out use cases
Need to scale from local machine to cloud. Need to boost productivity and reduce time-to-market while accelerating the solutions.
