Client: Kommunalkredit Austria AG
Year: 2024 - Ongoing

Our clients data team wanted to adopt a flexible, future-ready cloud data platform to accelerate insights.

Kommunalkredit relied on an aging, on-premise data warehouse that struggled to meet growing analytics and reporting demands. Scaletech implemented an enterprise-grade analytics foundation leveraging leading practices.

Challenge

Scaletech developed a strategic migration plan centered on key business capabilities, ensuring a seamless transition from legacy systems with minimal disruption.

We began the project with a detailed preparation phase in collaboration with Kommunalkredit’s compliance, data protection, and security teams. The initiative was formally submitted for audit approval by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA), ensuring full alignment with regulatory and security requirements from day one.

By consolidating data from previously siloed sources, we established a unified foundation for efficient data management and analysis. During the migration, we also remodeled the existing data model to improve structure, maintainability, and analytical clarity. Additionally, we leveraged dynamic tables for data model management and native DMFs for data quality control, ensuring consistency and accuracy across datasets.

To enhance analytical capabilities, we migrated Tableau into the cloud, enabling modern, scalable, and more collaborative reporting. At the same time, we implemented the first use cases with AI functionalities, demonstrating tangible value from AI-driven insights early in the process.

To support scalable analytics, by using a cloud data platform we enabled unlimited workloads with high performance and flexibility. Security and governance were addressed at the highest level. We implemented enterprise-grade features, including dynamic data masking, row-level security, SSO user provisioning with SCIM, and granular network policies and rules. Governance was defined around clear ownership of both data and objects, ensuring accountability and transparency across teams.

This approach does not only keep data integrity and access control safe, but also provides a secure, compliant, and auditable foundation for Kommunalkredit’s data-driven operations.

Solution

Partnership outcomes

By optimizing query performance, 90% faster query response times were achieved, enabling rapid insights and real-time decision-making.

Our solution allowed Kommunalkredit to efficiently query exponentially growing datasets over longer historical periods, ensuring deeper analytical capabilities.

Additionally, the pay-as-you-go cloud architecture significantly reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), delivering substantial savings while maintaining scalability.

Improved data quality and consistency further enhanced trust in decision-making, empowering teams with reliable, high-integrity data. With these enhancements, Kommunalkredit can leverage insight-led lending programs and data-driven offerings, unlocking new growth opportunities through advanced analytics.
