BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PLANNING INSURANCE & ANALYSIS ANALYTICS SERVICES IMPLEMENTATION Services Executive Executive BriefBrief The insurance industry has data management needs that are complex and involved, and seeing a Analytics project through from concept to completion is not a job for just any consultancy or internal IT resources. Developing an initiative that aligns with stated business objectives and takes advantage of technologies that will deliver on them is a specialty of its own. The ability to implement the vision is another. We do both.

At the same time, we are happy to share our intellectual property in the form of accelerators, licensable know-how that reduce risk and cost, dramatically shortening the implementation timeline.

THE SMART ANALYTICS METHODOLOGY InEdge has developed an effective, proven, and forward-looking iterative-incremental methodology to guide the Insurance Analytics project from concept through to completion and beyond. SMART Analytics defines five distinct but overlapping project phases with agreed-upon goals and defined deliverables at each stage. It transforms current ambitions into measurable, achievable milestones, while leaving room for future development.
01 EXPLORATION
03 CONSTRUCTION
05 EVOLUTION
Laying the groundwork for project acceptance, the exploration phase seeks to define the business, strategic and tactical requirements of the successful Analytics initiative. By the end of this phase, project stakeholders have a clear understanding of its goal and benefits, and everyone is on the same page.
A hands-on phase for all team members, regrouping high-level activities such as detailed analysis and design with component, testing and integration. It produces fully-tested deliverables, fine-tuned for performance, ready for integration.
Business requirements are not static. Strategies evolve -- technology, too. As user familiarity increases, more complex and pointed questions are asked of the system. For these reasons, the SMART Analytics methodology plans from the start to measure performance, revisit and refresh all project components.
02 ELABORATION
04 IMPLEMENTATION
This phase identifies requirements and risk factors, and defines the over all scope of the project. Grounded in real-life experience and industry best-practises, nothing is overlooked during this important planning phase.
This phase integrates the new, fully-tested analytical applications and engines into the production (“live”) environment. An iterative approach allows for early delivery of selected components in a uniform and consistent manner.
