American Family Insurance Selects Innovation Group's Insurer Analytics

FARMINGTON, CT--(Marketwired - Oct 5, 2015) - The Innovation Group plc (Innovation Group) is pleased to announce American Family Insurance (American Family) has selected Insurer Analytics, a modern analytics solution which is a component in the Innovation Insurer suite, as part of the company's claim process transformation.

The nation's third largest mutual property/casualty insurer, American Family sought an insurance-focused analytics solution that could be tightly integrated with the company's existing claim management solution and which featured an extensive array of insurance key performance indicators (KPIs), at-a-glance executive dashboards and pre-built and user-configurable metrics. Considering American Family's large number of in-force policies, an analytics system which enhanced the company's ability to scale quickly during CAT events was considered vital.
