Solution

Emirates Insurance replaced fragmented on-premises systems with a Snowflake-based platform running on Azure so customer, broker, policy, and claims data could support both governed analytics and AI-driven automation. Data lands in Snowflake, where dbt standardizes transformations, Dagster orchestrates recurring pipelines, and Qlik serves customer, broker, and portfolio dashboards to business teams. The same foundation supports AI-assisted document handling: police incident reports, identity documents, and vehicle license plates are ingested and interpreted to speed claims registration and quote intake while reducing manual transcription and data-quality issues. Because Snowflake is deployed locally in the UAE, Emirates Insurance can keep analytics and AI workflows inside a governed environment that also simplifies data-sovereignty compliance. The result is fresher trusted data, broader customer and broker visibility, and a reusable base for future chatbot and quoting use cases.

Data flow

Customer, broker, policy, and claims data are centralized in Snowflake on Azure, transformed with dbt, orchestrated with Dagster, and served to business users through Qlik. Unstructured claims documents are ingested into the same platform so AI-assisted workflows can accelerate claims and quoting.
