Powering a Leading NZ Bank with our On-demand Experts

Our client is a New Zealand banking giant, backed by a major international banking group.

Being at the forefront of NZ's banking sector, the bank places high value on translating financial and customer analytics into actionable insights.

The Challenge

The bank was facing a complex issue: diverse departments with varying analytical needs.

Isolated analytics processes in each department led to lapses in data governance, inconsistent quality, and overlapping insights. An attempt to centralise the analytics team brought forth a new challenge - the overwhelming demand for insights versus the limited supply of analysts.

The newness of this centralised approach made hiring a large permanent staff a risky proposition.

Our Approach

  1. Swift Integration: Data Insight swiftly merged with the bank's core analytics team. Our experience in analytics consulting ensured that we integrated seamlessly, eliminating traditional prolonged onboarding phases.
  2. Pace and Efficiency: Our team is trained for high-paced environments, allowing us to immediately handle and process analytics requests.
  3. Embedded Expertise: Three dedicated analysts from our side integrated directly within the bank's Analytics as a Service squad. With the oversight of a senior Data Insight analytics manager, we ensured impeccable quality while relieving the bank of the additional administrative tasks.

The Outcome

With our integrated approach and on-demand resourcing, the bank experienced a significant improvement in the speed, efficiency, and quality of their analytics outputs. Requests previously stalled due to resource constraints were now addressed promptly, fostering more agile decision-making processes.

As we strengthened our role as a trusted partner, we also collaborated with the bank's digital and business teams. Together, we developed dashboards and provided insights that addressed process bottlenecks, ultimately enabling the bank to serve their customers more effectively.
