OneShield Introduces Dragon Intelligence at the ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum

OneShield (Westborough, Mass.), vendor of the OneShield Dragon rules-based policy administration system, launched Dragon Intelligence (DI) analytic reporting this week at the ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum in Las Vegas. According to a vendor news release, DI takes into account a carrier's specific business models to analyze specific key risk underwriting benchmarks, as well as workflow job functions, while interweaving external data sources to provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary view of the complete insurance enterprise.

"DI offers every functional area such as agency management, channel marketing, underwriting and operations, a complete decision-support that provides insight into both the top and bottom line," comments Steve Forte, industry principal, OneShield. "As a carrier's book of business changes, DI provides a hard, fast, real-time look at the book so you can set or adjust benchmarks based on the true appetite for risk."

OneShield Dragon's modular, service-oriented architecture enables DI to integrate with other reporting and analytic products such that content from both systems can coexist with a bi-directional data flow.

"Given the economic malaise and soft market we are currently faced with, P&C insurers need real-time insight into their operations in order to proactively react to changing market and business conditions," Forte adds. "Having a granular view of key performance indicators will differentiate the leaders and followers."
