MicroStrategy was selected for its data lineage integration with
the other software solutions Admiral Group uses, which are critical
to its sales cycle. In addition, user-friendly capabilities,
superior performance and scalability, system availability, as well
as MicroStrategy's ability to support trusted governed data
discovery meant it stood out from the competition. MicroStrategy's
powerful visualization and mobile features will enable staff across
Admiral Group to easily access important brand and product data
across multiple lines of business and deliver customized products
and services more efficiently to customers.
Gunnar Peters, Head of Data and
Management Information at Admiral Group, said: "Implementing the
new policy administration is all about helping our staff be as
informed and as efficient as possible, and delivering the best
possible customer experience. We've worked with MicroStrategy since
2009 to power our operational reporting, and after evaluating
analytics providers in the marketplace, MicroStrategy is still the
most comprehensive enterprise analytics platform that fits our
evolving needs."
The new policy administration system is due to go live later
this year. The new MicroStrategy Analytics Platform licenses
purchased as part of the implementation will extend the reach of
the platform to many more users.
"MicroStrategy's comprehensive analytics capabilities have been
put to the test by leading insurance companies globally," said
Paul Zolfaghari, President,
MicroStrategy Incorporated. "The homeowner and car insurance
industry operates in a particularly competitive market, so
delivering the best customer experience and reducing risk is top of
mind for global insurance providers, including Admiral Group. We're
pleased that Admiral Group has chosen to expand its MicroStrategy
footprint to reach more business users, enabling them to strengthen
customer relationships and build a great business."
