As a global leader in the re/insurance industry, Swiss Re views data as the foundation for innovation, resilience and informed decision-making. When its existing data platform became outdated, the company worked with EPAM to modernize its infrastructure and public-facing portal from end to end. Sigma Explorer, a state-of-the-art data portal, offers new capabilities for data exploration powered by AI and Microsoft technologies. With the ability to offer differentiated access to clients and monetize research at scale, Swiss Re has enhanced data accessibility and operational efficiency, all backed by a modern foundation for future growth.
THE FUTURE OF DATA
Setting a New Standard for the Insurance Industry
In 2024, Swiss Re Institute was looking to overhaul its legacy data platform due to outdated infrastructure and fragmentation. In search of a modern solution, Swiss Re turned to EPAM for our proven expertise in data transformation and proprietary agentic AI platforms and tools. The goal was to develop a future-ready foundation that would not only replace the legacy system but enhance data exploration capabilities for its clients and users across the organization.
EPAM’s team of engineers, designers and consultants embedded themselves within Swiss Re’s organization to ideate, validate and deliver the new Sigma Explorer, a groundbreaking data platform powered by AI and Microsoft technologies.
The solution includes three core pillars: searchable publications for effortless navigation, a data set explorer for customized data sets and visualizations, and an AI-powered chatbot to assist users. Integration of EPAM DIAL, part of AI/Run™.Tools, enhanced the portal’s AI capabilities, unlocking advanced features and providing a seamless user experience.
To further enhance the capabilities of Sigma Explorer, we worked with Swiss Re to leverage our deep Microsoft expertise and integrate several Microsoft technologies into the platform including Power BI, Azure Data Factory and Power Automate. Power BI enabled interactive visualizations embedded directly into the portal and automated dataset exporting to significantly reduce data modeling efforts. Azure Data Factory helped to facilitate the initial migration and integration of complex datasets, while Power Automate orchestrated data publication workflows, automating updates and ensuring timely delivery of insights.
Sigma Explorer provides a one-stop shop for insurance data exploration needs as well as the ability to monetize data based on differentiated user access. With a modern infrastructure, powerful customization and the ability to scale in the future, Sigma Explorer is truly a revolutionary product in market.
