Case Study: Zenith Insurance achieves faster, more accurate reporting and Solvency II readiness with SAS

Driving business growth with better data

Zenith Insurance, part of Markerstudy Group and supporting about 3,000 independent intermediaries, needed faster, more accurate, auditable data after an acquisition that left it with multiple disparate systems. Manual, spreadsheet-driven reporting slowed decision making and left a small team struggling to support growing reporting and regulatory needs, including preparedness for Solvency II.

By centralizing data with SAS Data Management and an enterprise data warehouse and rolling out SAS Enterprise BI Server and Enterprise Guide for self-service reporting, Zenith gave business users fast, reliable access to information. The analytics support team grew from 8 to 12 and now supports 300+ users (nearly four times as many), data that once took a year to collect now arrives in days, claims and pricing decisions are faster and more accurate, and the company is better positioned for regulatory compliance and improved fraud detection.
