the challenge
Atlanta Group, one of the UK and Ireland’s largest and fastest-growing insurance brokers, wanted to simplify its complex data environment and improve data-driven decision-making across its many brands.
Legacy technologies were slowing down performance and limiting self-serve capabilities. The business needed a scalable, efficient solution that aligned with its digital-first, data-led ambitions.

the solution
After a thorough discovery process, Dufrain challenged the standard solution previously proposed to Atlanta and instead recommended a more cost-effective and tailored approach using Microsoft Azure technologies, including Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Power BI.
Dufrain delivered a bespoke data platform, executive dashboards, and a financial reporting suite, alongside full documentation, development standards, and enablement support.
The team prioritised a one-team, fast-paced delivery approach focused on knowledge transfer and long-term adoption.
