The Innovation Group, a global provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) and software solutions to the insurance, fleet, automotive and property industries, releases a new version of Insurer Analytics, the business analytics component of the company's Innovation Insurer suite.

New capabilities in Insurer Analytics include multi-measure/axis analysis, time series analysis, forecasting, integrated help system, a library of out-of-the-box (OOB) insurance analysis dashboards, KPIs and measures, and life cycle analysis.

In addition, there are extensions to the Silverlight-based dashboard and portal providing 100 percent, browser-based delivery using the Microsoft BI platform. Two stand-out capabilities are the guided interactive analysis, which allows business users to understand the business performance in a structured manner, and the train of thought, which allows users to follow an assumption through drill downs into the low-level data.
