Definity, a Canadian P&C insurer, underwent a critical mission to modernize its data infrastructure for innovation and scalability.
Legacy limitations, including scalability issues, data silos, and rising costs, prompted Definity to migrate its data ecosystem.
Definity chose Google Cloud's BigQuery and Vertex AI to build its new Strategic Data Platform (SDP) for advanced analytics.
The migration involved collaboration with Google Cloud and Quantiphi, completing the process in just ten months, 50% faster than the industry average.
The migration resulted in exceptional user satisfaction, cost savings, and significant improvements in performance and agility for Definity.
Lessons learned from the migration journey include fostering collaboration, bold decision-making, and transparent communication.
Definity's future plans include leveraging BigQuery and Vertex AI for further innovation and the development of new AI use cases.
By migrating to BigQuery and Vertex AI, Definity aims to continue leading innovation in the insurance industry with a scalable and AI-ready data foundation.
The partnership with Google Cloud is expected to play a vital role in helping Definity achieve its data transformation goals and expand its AI capabilities.
Definity's migration experience highlights the importance of teamwork, leadership trust, adaptability, and incremental delivery for successful data platform modernization.
