Collecting millions of data points, real-time scoring, automation, predictive models: dive behind the scenes of Coface's Tech ecosystem that powers its data patrimony, insights and commercial risk management solutions on a global scale.
Tech infrastructure vs user experience: a daily dual challenge
As a Risk Domain Director within IT Department, Keisuke is the one who ensures the smooth running of a core tool for Coface's risk management businesses and commercial decision-making solutions: Atlas Info, Coface's global Business Information repository. A data patrimony that lists 80 years of credit information on 240 million companies.
Balancing the robustness of the information system, operational excellence and an optimal user experience, Keisuke's role requires some skill as a tightrope walker.
The main challenge is to ensure that the tool is accessible anytime, anywhere in the world, but also that our users (risk underwriters and information managers) are satisfied, especially with the rollout of new features.
From raw data to decision in a few seconds
What makes Coface a Data & Tech company, from Keisuke's perspective? The unique combination of expertise, smart data and cutting-edge technology that enables Coface to retrieve information on debtors, generate a probability of default score and manage clients' guarantee requests. In a nutshell, to convert Coface's (Big) Data into scores and exclusive insights... in just a moment!
“We are able to collect, store, enrich and analyse information in a highly industrialised and automated way, with response times in the order of seconds!” - Keisuke Murai, Risk Domain Director, IT Department.
The art of making data speak
When imagining what commercial risk management at Coface will look like in ten years, Keisuke draws an ambitious vision: “A system that is even more powerful than today's, able to process even more data, but also more predictive to help users in their day-to-day decision-making”.
To young talents who are looking to dive into this Data & Tech adventure, Keisuke shares some tips: stay curious, be eager to learn and learn how to make data talk! His motto: data is never just a number, it always reflects a business reality.
Behind every piece of data, there is a business concept, and to serve a business well, you have to understand it.
