Country Mutual has selected IT-Freedom Limited to provide the innovative and sophisticated Management Information solution, ICE Track™. IT-Freedom Limited, the specialist consultancy for the insurance industry, has created the ICE Track solution for brokers who wish to consolidate their management information from disparate and varied broker systems onto a single database from where they can obtain a corporate view of their business.
The brief to IT-Freedom was for Country Mutual to be able to report financial and operational figures across all of its offices in a consistent and timely manner. There were at least 6 different broking systems from which IT-Freedom was to extract information, transform it into a consistent format and load it onto the insurance specific data mart (IDM) for reporting using the ORA toolset. The solution was initially seen as an interim measure whilst the new Sirius4Broking solution was fully implemented. However, following a successful pilot, the brief has been extended and ICE Track is to become the strategic reporting system for Country Mutual in the future.
ICE Track will offer all Country Mutual offices access to their data as well as providing Head Office with the consolidated views. A key requirement is timeliness of information and ICE Track is currently configured to provide a complete business picture on a monthly basis within 2 working days of the month end. Another important aspect to ICE Track is the emphasis on ensuring the accuracy of the data and therefore the quality of the end-user reporting.
Country Mutual has a commitment to innovation, technology and customer service. IT-Freedom’s solutions provide businesses with faster and more reliable information, resulting in better-informed decision making in a changing business environment.
Andrew Spriggs, Country Mutual’s Head of Operations, “We needed to move quickly to find an effective MI solution. IT-Freedom’s combination of industry experience and an innovative, yet proven toolset has helped us significantly improve our management information reporting capability in a reasonably short period of time. We were particularly impressed by the speed and thoroughness of their work and we are confident that ICE Track will provide an effective platform to support our planned growth.”
