OVERVIEW
Headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, The IMT Group offers car, home, and business insurance to policyholders throughout the Midwest. The company consists of IMT Insurance Company and Wadena Insurance Company and was founded in 1884 as a provider of wind and tornado insurance to farmers. Today, its line of personal and commercial insurance products is offered through over 800 independent agencies in six states across the Midwest.
THE CHALLENGE
In the spirit of continuous improvement, IMT sought to understand its book of business better and needed the ability to analyze its data in more beneficial and meaningful ways. The company recognized the need to apply technology to harness the power of information. IMT was prepared to embark on the typical yet costly data warehouse building project when Wipfli introduced the company to QlikView, a better way of gathering strategic business intelligence.
THE APPROACH
Wipfli built a comprehensive BI architecture to aggregate data streams across the company's platforms, delivering real-time dashboards to managers.
QlikView and Wipfli helped us create a solution enabling our business users to respond much faster to our agents' questions and requests while also providing access to key indicators of our business's health.
THE RESULTS
By implementing Wipfli's business intelligence solutions, The IMT Group unlocked advanced data modeling capabilities, significantly improving reporting accuracy and underwriting speed.
