CSC LICENSES BUSINESS ANALYTICS TO JACKSON
New Software Tool for Insurance Industry Enables Analysis of Business-Critical Data
FALLS CHURCH, Va., Nov. 10 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced that Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (Jackson®) of Lansing, Mich., has licensed CSC’s Business Analytics software to access and analyze business intelligence information from its multiple financial services systems. As one of the nation’s top individual annuity writers, Jackson will use the software to track key metrics and proactively address rapidly changing market conditions.
CSC introduced Business Analytics, which leverages SAP® BusinessObjects™ XI solutions, to life insurance and annuity providers in May 2009. Jackson is the first company in this market to license the product which comes with pre-built visual, interactive dashboards and insurance-specific analytical reports that can be used in all Jackson subsidiaries. Under the terms of the agreement, the software will be integrated with Jackson’s current systems, including CSC’s CyberLife policy administration system and PerformancePlus, an incentive compensation management system.
“We were looking for a solution that would extract, reconcile and present data from multiple systems throughout our organization to help us gain greater insight into our business operations and customer actions,” said George Napoles, Jackson’s executive vice president and chief administrative officer. “With CSC’s Business Analytics, we can better position ourselves to reach our strategic growth objectives.”
“Our long-standing relationship with Jackson extends to include yet another area – business intelligence,” said Michael W. Risley, president of the Life and Annuity Division within CSC’s Financial Services Group. “With this new offering tailored for life insurance and annuity firms, we help executives better manage their entire organizations by gaining an in-depth understanding of their companies’ operations, opportunities, customers and risks.”
Business Analytics is part of CSC’s Insurance Optics family of business intelligence solutions to help insurers gain insight from data and drive change. For more information on Business Analytics and the other Insurance Optics solutions, visit www.csc.com/insuranceoptics.
