How is BI used in Insurance Sector ?

To manage through volatile times in a highly competitive market, insurance companies need a single view of the enterprise. That view must be flexible enough to connect with multiple policy administration and claims systems, extract data from those systems, and transform it into meaningful information. Operational, regulatory, and financial data must be completely transparent as business requirements change. Business intelligence (BI) can deliver the information that managers need to make critical decisions, and many are hungry for the value that added insight would deliver; yet they are cautious about projects that could take years to implement and returns that are difficult to predict.


One way to alleviate these concerns and build a strong business case for BI is to use both quantitative and qualitative metrics to evaluate the total potential return to the business. For most companies, the return generated by a BI implementation extends well beyond traditional cost-savings analysis to encompass far-reaching benefits, such as:

 

  • Fewer wrong (and costly) decisions made based on insufficient data.
  • Knowing which products to bring to market.
  • Knowing which policies to stop writing.
  • Understanding renewal rates.

Client Implementation Story for a Insurance client : 

Client Background: Major Insurance Provider

Client Business Need: Client wanted to automate data loading process for their EPMA Budgeting system.The various sources included Oracle GL, PeopleSoft HR, text files, and MS Excel files.

The Solution:  We utilized ODI, Oracle Relational database, and FDMEE to create a comprehensive automated solution to extract, transform, and load data to the target EPMA application that was used for Budgeting and Forecasting.We utilized ODI packages to run data interfaces in a predefined manner. Data packages were scheduled to run from ODI agent and sent email notifications along with the data and error logs to the appropriate group. We also created a process to load finalized budget back to the GL through FDMEE.

Benefits: 

  • The system keep the users up to date with the execution process by sending out notifications.
  • Admins were easily able to identify from the logs the issues encountered during the load process and narrow it down to the cause.
  • Drill back to the GL system for line item level details.
  • The main challenge was timeline to complete the project and we were able to complete the project within budget.
