From Complexity to Clarity: How nib Achieved Data Discovery with Select Star

nib Group, an ASX100 health insurance company, faced challenges in managing its expansive data ecosystem due to a lack of visibility and the complexity of data lineage, redundancy, and governance issues. Transitioning from a legacy system to a modern data warehouse using Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, and Tableau, nib sought to enhance data discovery and governance. To address these challenges, nib partnered with Select Star, a platform offering robust data discovery and lineage features, which facilitated self-service discovery through automated metadata insights. This collaboration enabled nib to gain detailed insights into data transformations, remove redundant datasets, and improve data governance, leading to a 90% increase in efficiency and transparency. Select Star's intuitive interface and automated documentation bridged the gap between data teams and business users, fostering better data literacy and collaboration. The deployment resulted in streamlined data management, improved compliance with regulatory standards, and a proactive data culture, ultimately supporting nib's mission to deliver exceptional service to its members.
