About Autostrade per l’Italia
Autostrade per l’Italia is a prominent toll motorway concessionaire in Europe, managing approximately 3,000km of network in Italy. The company and its subsidiaries are dedicated to delivering safe, sustainable, and efficient road infrastructure for the benefit of motorists and the wider transportation industry. In 2020, Autostrade per l’Italia has initiated a digital transformation journey aimed at harnessing the power of data, enhancing its technology ecosystem, and migrating to the cloud.
Challenge
Autostrade per l’Italia faced significant challenges due to manual processes in traffic, safety, and maintenance, which increased operational risks and inefficiencies. Fragmented data and limited digitization negatively impacted travelers, employees, and field operators, while legacy systems restricted connectivity and AI adoption.
Solution
The company began its transformation by building a data analytics platform to centralize data from various sources (e.g., IBM DB2, Salesforce, SAP) into the cloud. The platform processes raw data into a usable format, integrates it, and optimizes it for visualization. It also includes a data modeling component to capture metadata, such as dataset structure, meaning, and relationships, enabling efficient insight extraction.

Autostrade per l’Italia selected Actian Zeenea Data Discovery Platform for its intuitive interface, flexible metamodel, and affordability. Zeenea’s user-friendly design supports both technical and business teams, enabling self-service data access. Its customizable metamodel tailored to privacy and sensitivity needs, while its cost-effectiveness made it ideal for large-scale implementation, driving efficient decision-making in their digital transformation.
