The Need
AF Group, the largest non-governmental specialty writer of workers compensation insurance in the U.S, processes data from each of their seven insurance brands. AF Group was manually testing data pipelines and data warehouses taking considerable time and effort to execute data quality assurance and validation. As AF Group transitioned to an agile DevOps model, they needed a solution that could integrate into their CI/CD framework.

The RDt data integrity controls satisfied internal audit and provided checks for data quality across the warehouse. AF Group leveraged the RDt platform to unify data quality across the enterprise with an automated process.
