AÉSIO Mutuelle: From Spreadsheets to Strategy With Dataiku

AÉSIO Mutuelle reinvented its data processes by automating workflows and empowering teams to break down silos with machine learning and AI.

The complex work that AÉSIO Mutuelle conducts as a healthcare insurance company requires manual maintenance of massive flat files, generated by their own organization or externally. Before adopting Dataiku, if the size of these files allowed it, they were managed in Excel. Then teams would check the data and the merges, and then conducted any necessary analysis based on those files.

The goal was to enable the business units to speed up these time-consuming steps by securing and industrializing these tasks.

That’s where Dataiku comes in.

Weaving Dataiku Into the Organization

To boost efficiency and make better use of the available data that AÉSIO Mutuelle had access to, they decided to partner with Dataiku. Coupled with data in Snowflake, the organization could access it in record time. In addition, their first use cases were developed with very little specialized training. This allowed the teams to reclaim their data, automate their spreadsheet tasks, and collaborate on the same project. After more comprehensive training later on, they were able to secure their work with metrics and checks, industrialize technical tasks, and spend more time analyzing the results their models gave them.

"Dataiku has made it possible to remove the technical aspect of data analysis."

A variety of teams are now empowered to think like data scientists themselves and are now able to solve more complex problems. Teams can process data extremely quickly and easily, freeing up their time to do what is perhaps the most important work — analyzing results and making decisions with those results. Leadership at AÉSIO Mutuelle has specifically noted that they’ve never had their KPIs this fast before.

Faster Performance, Measurable Outcomes

Because they were so quick to implement, train, and use Dataiku, many teams at AÉSIO Mutuelle have not only become power users of machine learning (ML) and AI, but they’ve become Dataiku ambassadors —  they’ve doubled the number of users within their organization in a two-year span.

Among the many advantages that AÉSIO Mutuelle has seen in addition to stronger data science practices and a growing coalition of citizen data scientists, are the speed of data availability, integrated analysis and control capabilities, and the implementation of monitoring through metrics and checks. And because of this interconnectedness through shared use of data in the organization, many existing silos came down.

AÉSIO Mutuelle’s journey through data-focused innovation highlights the dramatic value of connecting forward-thinking tools and well-planned strategy. By successfully implementing Dataiku into many of their core workflows and key challenges, they’ve not only been able to streamline their operations, but also strengthened their teammates along the way.
