Developed and deployed in just a few weeks, Zurich's mobile analytics app integrates Solvency II reporting and internal reports to support industry regulator reporting. Dubbed IMT, the app allows controllers and management to swipe and tap their iPad app, and then analyze year-over-year trends on global claims data by time period, geography, and line of business using actuarial methodologies. Such insight has given Zurich Insurance the ability to effectively investigate complex claims patterns and easily report on this data to meet Solvency II requirements.
"Our global and local decision makers have a powerful iPad app, where they can access straightforward, valuable dashboards that also help ensure transparency of operations and support regulatory requirements," said Martin Buess, Head of Global General Insurance Claims Business Intelligence at Zurich Insurance. "Our relationship with MicroStrategy is the latest initiative that empowers our employees to act decisively to reduce corporate risk exposure and improve our balance sheet. With MicroStrategy, our personnel at headquarters and out in the countries are able to easily explore our claims data, uncover areas of improvement, and make informed decisions in a matter of seconds on their iPads."
"Global insurance companies face extensive and often complex reporting requirements across a wide range of areas and are seeking an easy tool to minimize this complexity," said Paul Zolfaghari, President, MicroStrategy Incorporated. "Zurich Insurance has built an intuitive mobile app based on MicroStrategy Mobile that combines all its complex data and integrates it with a rich set of rules. Zurich employees now have the leading mobile analytics solution in the market at their fingertips to help ensure a healthy balance sheet."
