SVMIC insures more than 19,000 physicians and advanced practice providers in Tennessee, Arkansas, Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. In this data-intensive environment, managers want to embed analytics into their day-to-day decision-making processes so they can more easily segment policyholders, adjust claims, establish competitive pricing strategies, and inform many other critical business processes. "We understand the importance of accurate data, and we need a BI vendor with expertise in standardizing, normalizing, and generating business-ready insurance data in order to derive impactful insights," said Tom Werner, director of Actuarial Services at SVMIC.

Most of the BI and analytics vendors that Werner and his team considered were focused on the needs of large insurance companies. They selected Information Builders' flexible suite of analytic and data management tools because they were priced and configured to meet SVMIC's current needs – and could be easily expanded as SVMIC's needs mature. Competing BI packages designed for the insurance market offered fixed analytic capabilities and only limited tools for data integration and data integrity.

Gerald Cohen, president and CEO, Information Builders, said:
"SVMIC has pinpointed a universal need among small to midsize insurance firms for targeted, industry-specific analytics. To date, most BI vendors have not addressed the needs of smaller insurers. Our tailored solution will give SVMIC a competitive edge in the growing market for medical malpractice insurance, especially as line-of-business managers and operational workers identify opportunities to use their data in unique ways."
