The Challenge

What data challenges did Lebara face before implementing solutions?

Three years ago, Lebara found itself at a crossroads. Despite being in the telecommunications business for over two decades, the company was struggling to harness the true power of its
data. The challenges they faced included:

Manual Data Validation: Teams spent countless hours manually checking data quality, often finding issues only after they reached downstream business users.
Lack of Trust: Business leaders were hesitant to rely on data, often reverting to gut feeling for critical decisions.
Reactive Problem-Solving: The data team was constantly putting out fires, with little time for strategic initiatives.
Limited Scalability: As data volumes grew, manual processes simply couldn’t keep up.

The Solution

Embracing Automation and AI to Drive Trust in Data

Recognizing the need for a complete overhaul, Lebara embarked on an ambitious data transformation journey.

Their strategy focused on three key pillars:

Modernizing Infrastructure: Moving from on-premises systems to a cloud-based Databricks architecture.
Leveraging AI and ML: Implementing machine learning models to drive personalized customer interactions.
Automating Data Quality: Partnering with Anomalo to automate data quality monitoring at scale.
