Leading risk and re-insurance firmGuy Carpenter & Companyhas
integrated newlocation intelligencetechnology into
its onlinerisk managementplatform.
The firm has integrated the
Pitney Bowes MapInfo system into its I-AXS platform. With the
added component of location intelligence, I-AXS enables insurance
companies to analyse and visualise their portfolio exposures and
losses at a granular level, helping them to make more informed
re-insurance purchase decisions.
Guy Carpenter already used MicroStrategy's business intelligence
technology within its I-AXS platform, and sought a way to more
efficiently analyse and report data from a location
perspective.
It integrated the Pitney Bowes MapInfo Location Intelligence
Component with its MicroStrategy business intelligence platform
and, as a result, insurance companies can now use location
intelligence while concurrently accessing a range of enterprise
reporting and analytic solutions.
Pitney Bowes MapInfo also enables I-AXS to use the output of
standard catastrophe model applications.
Users are able to seamlessly generate maps of a catastrophe
exposure based on reports as well as create reports based on
maps.
Shajy Mathai, managing director of Guy Carpenter, said, "I-AXS
is an ideal solution for risk managers who have previously
struggled with having too much data, and not having the proper
resources to manage it and fully take advantage of what the data
can provide.
"The Pitney Bowes MapInfo product provides our clients with the
ability to visualise this information on a map, bringing greater
clarity to the decision-making process."
