The Challenge
Holmes Murphy & Associates, a premier independent risk management and insurance brokerage firm, was facing the challenge of managing the complexity of its ever-increasing variety of data sources. The company processes large volumes of diverse data from a wide variety of sources in complex formats. The data consists of everything from fixed format text, to spreadsheets, to web data, and no matter what format it comes in, they have to work with it. The company needed to implement a solution to manage the complexity of its ever increasing variety of data sources. Further, Holmes Murphy needed a means to codify its business rules and ensure consistency in the data by reducing human error.
The Solution
Holmes Murphy & Associates deployed QlikView Expressor to the systems analyst team in less than 2 weeks. QlikView Expressor enables business users to consistently capture and manage metadata. At the same time, business communities are empowered to create their own analytic applications with confidence in the data, and security and governance controls in place.

There are approximately 70 frequent users of the application, and the company makes heavy use of QlikView Expressor’s Semantic and Repository layers to achieve conformance, immediately detect data quality issues, and collaborate among dataflow developers.
