Superior analytics for data-driven insurance companies.
One centralized, intelligent insurance platform
In the insurance industry, companies must be agile, leveraging all kinds of data to optimize operations, build predictive models, reduce claims leakage, report on financials and glean informative customer insights. Ibi’s insurance platform does all of this in one, allowing enterprises to access data and analytics at a high level, while drilling down to whatever they need, including risk analysis, network performance, claim analytics and fraud detection.

Case Study
Gore Mutual Insurance
The Challenge
After an extensive upgrade to its technology infrastructure, leadership at Gore Mutual Insurance soon realized that the effort was doing little to achieve the carrier’s central goal: giving managers up-to-date information to help them make better decisions. The system they’d built was too hard for most executives at Canada’s oldest property and casualty insurer to use. “We only had a few superusers with the appropriate skill sets to manually generate reports,” said the vice president of business intelligence and analytics at Gore. “So other business users had to either rely on them for information or create their own Excel spreadsheets.”
Our users now make more informed decisions, providing limitless value to the organization. When they see a trend or a problem, they can take immediate corrective action.”

The Results
The self-service analytics capability of the new Gore system allows managers to get answers immediately instead of waiting days until a business intelligence unit analyst found the time to develop a new report. “The business users are very, very pleased,” said the vice president of business intelligence and analytics. “They can not only see the data they need, there is a visual representation as well.” This has freed up the business intelligence team to develop more sophisticated analytics.
This democratization of analytics capabilities has improved efficiency and performance throughout the company. For example, Gore has been able to incorporate more (and more finely tuned) underwriting and loss information into the algorithms that it uses to set premiums. “The access to more granular detailed data has improved our pricing sophistication. And it has had a material impact on our ROI — more, quite candidly, than we expected.”

The Challenge
Amerisure Mutual had done the hard work of moving terabytes of data from mainframe-based systems to a new Oracle database. Somehow, though, it still couldn’t get at the information it needed to sell and underwrite the business-oriented policies it specialized in. Users couldn’t get to the data on their own, and the department that handled writing reports had a two-year backlog. “Our data is very complex,” explained Doug Pontious, Amerisure’s business intelligence and data warehouse director. “We needed to create a framework that would enable us to harvest the intelligence that exists within that data and foster a culture that is more analytics based.”
The ibi platform addresses virtually every aspect of what we are trying to accomplish. They offer broad capabilities and high-quality solutions in every category. That gives us a lot of flexibility in how we construct and implement our infrastructure and make our vision a reality.”
