Argus Selects iPartners Business Intelligence Offering

The Miami-based carrier plans to go live with the P&C industry-specific, SaaS-delivered solution early this year.

Argus Insurance Group (Miami) has chosen to deploy the full iPartners Insurance Scorecard software-as-a-service business intelligence (BI) solution suite, including iDashboards, iScorecards, and iControl, according to an iPartners (Atlanta) press release. Implementation is currently underway and on track for production use in early 2010, according to iPartners.

Seeking to retain a leading position among carriers deploying property analytics, Argus made its decision after a proof-of-concept lasting only a week, according to the iPartners source. According to the vendor, the iPartners Insurance Scorecard suite offers a complete analytics solution including performance management dashboards and scorecards, ad-hoc detailed analysis, production reporting, and drill to detail.

"Argus Insurance Group is pleased and excited to have found a true partner in iPartners as we continue to deliver on our commitment to remain in the forefront of property analytics," comments David Milton, president, Argus Insurance Group. "iPartners has demonstrated that it is head and shoulders above their competitors in providing accurate, useful, and timely analysis; which allows Argus the opportunity and the insight to remain focused on quick and corrective action. The foresight the iPartners tools provide are invaluable in managing a profitable carrier in today's marketplace."

Robert Lasher, CEO, iPartners comments, "We appreciate the opportunity to work with Argus on this effort and thank them for the recognition of the strategic value of our BI solution. Our SaaS model not only promotes a quick and easy deployment of the solution, but also enables Argus to plug into our extensive P&C industry content."
