WorkingVendor case studyVendor ↗

Problem

Banco Hipotecario ran its analytics on a rigid legacy data warehouse. That made it hard to personalize offers and to use machine learning for upsell and cross-sell.

Approach

The bank moved to a cloud data lake on Azure Databricks and used MLflow to manage the machine learning lifecycle. It deployed its first model within three months and a second about two weeks later. The page does not name the models.

Takeaway

The bank tied its machine learning work to two commercial measures, cross-sell and acquisition cost. The page does not say how either was measured.
