Leading specialist insurer implements new Information on Demand solution to improve efficiency and save business costs 20 May 2010 – HCC International, a leading specialist international insurer, has appointed Neocol to provide a range of new Information on Demand solutions to deliver real-time data integration and analytics across their UK and European business. The solution will allow them to analyse and utilise data much faster which will help improve decision making, business efficiency and reduce costs. The new Information on Demand solution from Neocol will enable HCC to deliver a consolidated European data warehouse to provide KPIs, analytics and management reporting and will provide the transparency of data needed to meet regulatory requirements such as Solvency II. Furthermore, the product provides functionality that will enable them to better identify and remedy data quality issues across their diverse portfolio of business applications. Andy Care, Enterprise Architect at HCC said; “As with any international business we face a number of challenges with data and we wanted to ensure that we were able to effectively use it to improve our operations and deliver the results our clients expect as well as meet our regulatory requirements. Neocol came highly recommended and they worked closely with us to understand the challenges we faced in both the short and long term which they demonstrated during an initial proof of concept project.” He continued; “From the very start of the project Neocol made an effort to understand our business which made working with them very simple and cost effective and they will be now working with us to roll out the project across the rest of the business worldwide.” Michelle Cassidy, Client Manager for Financial Services at Neocol said; “By implementing an effective Information on Demand solution HCC will be able to consolidate, access and use their data much more efficiently and effectively. We were very pleased to win the deal as we went head to head with a competitor during the initial brief and we were able to demonstrate how our team could understand and overcome the challenges HCC faced both with the management of data and new regulatory requirements.” The new Information on Demand solution utilises the IBM InfoSphere platform which is used by over 7000 customers worldwide. HCC now plan to roll the solution out globally across all their offices to integrate data and provide seamless data management.
