MetLife Wins Novarica Impact Award for Analytics Best Practice Initiative

Jury of Insurer CIOs selects MetLife as a winner in the 6^th Annual Novarica Research Council Impact Awards

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Members of the Novarica Insurance Technology Research Council, a knowledge-sharing group of hundreds of insurer CIOs, have selected MetLife as one of two winners for best practices based on a review of case studies published today at https://novarica.com/compendium2017/.

MetLife created and promoted a global enterprise collaborative community focused on data and analytics. Adoption has exceeded expectations, with participation from beyond traditional IT and data groups, leading to 70% improvement in model leverage and 50% improvement in accuracy and strength.

“This global analytics community has strengthened our ability to share knowledge and expertise across geographic and organizational borders,” said Tom Wolf, Executive Vice President of MetLife’s Enterprise Application Development group. “It’s also accelerated our focus on delivering digital solutions that provide a differentiated customer experience and increase operating leverage.”

“MetLife’s initiative was selected by the committee for its real-world business impact in creating the culture change to drive value from technology,” said Matthew Josefowicz, President/CEO of Novarica and moderator of the Council.

MetLife also received a Novarica Impact Award in 2016 for its investments data transformation initiative.

MetLife’s case study, along with case studies of seven other winners, and more than 20 additional cases considered for Impact Awards, was published today in Novarica’s 6^th Annual Best Practices Case Study Compendium, online at https://novarica.com/compendium2017/. Novarica has published more than 175 case studies through this program since 2012.
