Breaking Silos: Cigna’s Journey to Seamless Data Sharing with Delta Sharing

As data ecosystems grow increasingly complex, the ability to share data securely, seamlessly, and in real time has become a strategic differentiator. In this session, Cigna will showcase how Delta Sharing on Databricks has enabled them to modernize data delivery, reduce operational overhead, and unlock new market opportunities. Learn how Cigna achieved significant savings by streamlining operations, compute, and platform overhead for just one use case. Explore how decentralizing data ownership—transitioning from hyper-centralized teams to empowered product owners—has simplified delivery and accelerated innovation. Most importantly, see how this modern open data-sharing framework has positioned Cigna to win contracts they previously couldn’t, by enabling real-time, cross-organizational data collaboration with external partners. Join us to hear how Cigna is using Delta Sharing not just as a technical enabler, but as a business catalyst.
