Challenge
Over the years, Baloise developed a complex and fragmented data landscape. Data was distributed across multiple systems, difficult to access, and could only be utilised with significant manual effort. A scalable, unified foundation was missing.
Solution
Together with ALTYCA and Microsoft, a modern data platform was built based on Microsoft Fabric. By integrating data engineering, analytics, and BI on a single platform, a centralised, standardised, and scalable data foundation was established.
Benefits
The new platform enables faster insights, reduces manual effort, and establishes the foundation for self-service and future AI use cases. Data is now centrally available, consistent, and can be leveraged where it creates real business value.
Over the years, Baloise developed an increasingly complex and fragmented data landscape. Data was spread across multiple systems, with differing structures, unclear ownership, and consequently a high level of manual effort required to make it usable. At the same time, business demands continued to grow: faster insights, greater self-service capabilities, and the ability to leverage data as a strategic foundation for decision-making and future AI applications. It became clear that a consolidated, scalable, and future-ready data platform was required.
Following a structured evaluation, Baloise selected Microsoft Fabric as the technological foundation and ALTYCA as the implementation partner. ALTYCA took on a leading role throughout the project, being responsible for the target architecture design, technical implementation, as well as overall project management and coordination. In close collaboration with the business units and in alignment with Microsoft, an integrated data platform was established that not only delivers from a technological perspective, but also proves sustainable and effective in day-to-day operations.
«The collaboration with ALTYCA was straightforward, technically strong, and conducted on equal footing. We were able to significantly simplify our data platform while simultaneously laying the foundation for future requirements.»

With the introduction of Microsoft Fabric and OneLake, the existing data landscape was unified and significantly simplified. ALTYCA led the implementation of data pipelines, the integration of various data sources, the development of a scalable architecture, and the coordination between business units, IT, and technology partners. Today, the solution serves as a central data foundation for multiple business units, providing a consistent basis for reporting, analytics, and advanced use cases.
The result is a platform that not only delivers from a technical perspective but also creates measurable business value: significantly faster time-to-insight, reduced manual effort, and enhanced capabilities for business users to work with data independently. At the same time, the new architecture establishes a solid foundation for future developments in Data & AI, enabling Baloise to leverage data as a strategic driver of success.
