The Need for Change

A finance organization sought to assess data quality of its client base based on customized business rules. They needed a fully customized solution where they can add 500+ business rules to check missing values, negative values, column domain verification, cross-entity verification, and other rules.

At the same time, they required a cost-efficient solution rather than buying an off-the-shelf tool and tailoring it.

Facing regulatory mandates for data quality reporting and needing to drive multiple internal improvement initiatives, this financial institution stood at a critical crossroads. The stakes were high—accurate client benefits delivery hung in the balance, with both regulatory compliance and customer trust on the line.

The Blueprint

• Raw files processed directly from Azure ADLS—eliminating database loading overhead
