Finally, rich data visualization is accomplished through via a comprehensive set of predefined yet highly configurable dashboards, scorecards, KPIs and reports. “Top performing organizations are 5.4 times more likely to use an analytic approach over intuition. With Cover-All's inclusion of IBM's leading analytic capabilities they can now help clients gain actionable insights to drive their business,” says Craig Bedell, World Wide Insurance Industry Executive for IBM Business Analytics Software. “The power of our domain rich capabilities, matched with IBM's industry-leading data-analysis and visualization technology, makes for a truly differentiated product suite,” continued Mr. Shah. “But the revolutionary aspect of this product lies within the inherent flexibility afforded to the business user. We've put an extraordinary amount of configurability in the users' hands, allowing them to build their own views based on information that's relevant to them. Further, our product-oriented approach allows us to deliver these capabilities much faster than traditionally seen in these types of projects.”
