Attunity, a provider of real-time data integration and event capture software, announced that National Life Group, a Fortune 1000 insurance company, has adopted Attunity's CDC and data replication software.

As a large organization that offers many products and supports hundreds of agents, National Life Group had a master data spread across many data systems, ranging from legacy mainframes to modern SQL Server databases. This made accessing data and performing BI at National Life Group challenging and costly. Users experienced high information latency as analyzing data, producing reports and making them available required labor-intensive custom programming.

The company was seeking a more efficient way to enable operational business intelligence and enterprise Master Data Management (MDM) in order to increase operational efficiencies and productivity.“Attunity’s software made this project possible by providing data in real-time across our heterogeneous environment so we could leverage the Microsoft platform and have a flexible and robust infrastructure with a low cost of ownership,” explained Jarugumilli Brahmaiah, Enterprise Architect and Data Initiative Leader at National Life Group.

The Attunity CDC Suite for SSIS data replication software enables fast configuration and deployment and eliminates the need for manual programming, providing tight integration with the Microsoft platform and tools. With the Attunity solution in place, making master data available in the SQL Server platform, National Life Group was able to complete their large-scale MDM project and extend comprehensive data in a single view to users requiring it for BI reporting and to agents needing it through Web applications.

Following the adoption of Attunity's software, Brahmaiah said, "we can now understand and analyze top performers to determine what and how much is sold across our various business units, enable agents to leverage cross-selling opportunities to increase revenue opportunities, and shortly will provide our agents with a single portal where they can access real-time and comprehensive data across the various business units."
