The Challenge
Data consistency issues and shadow IT slowed down data access across the bank
Data Consistency
Before the decision to level up data management, Slovenská sporiteľňa faced challenges in data availability, quality, and consistency. Numerous disjointed data sources didn't lend themselves to easy reporting. Data was hard to transform into a usable format, the performance was sluggish, and effective automation was a distant dream.
Shadow IT
While users had unified data from a data warehouse, it needed enrichment for reporting and analysis. As a result, teams relied on Excel and unauthorized data integrations. Mitigating this required complicated manual processes handled by a limited cohort of technical specialists, and the time-to-value of data initiatives left a lot to be desired.
