Success Story

A Fortune 1000 Alabama Based Insurance Company

"I have used Kreatek technical services for over three years on various data warehousing and business intelligence oriented projects. Their technical capabilities are very good, no doubt, but what sets Kreatek apart is the attention to service and the partnership they have built with users in my company. That has been what has truly made their projects successful."

Marty Reilly
Divisional CIO of a Fortune 1000 Insurance Company

When an Alabama based insurance company with $26 Billion in assets, made the difficult decision to change the way it used and disseminated data throughout its organization, the project seemed overwhelming. The reality was that data was stored in numerous systems and platforms at multiple locations across the country and many of the systems did not communicate with each other. Automating the consolidation and streamlining of the data was an enormous undertaking. Kreatek was brought in at the inception of the data warehousing and business intelligence project to assist the company with the strategy. Kreatek helped drive the direction of the project side by side with the company’s management teams. That initial partnership started a solid relationship that continues today.

Kreatek's staff not only assisted with the technical aspects of creating an enterprise data warehouse, but they assisted the business users in defining an entire Business Intelligence (BI) solution. Kreatek assisted with the implementation of a suite of Cognos BI tools. With Kreatek's help the company deployed Cognos PowerPlay® and Impromptu® solutions to over 500 employees, customers and sales staff across the country.

The company has and continues to have many successes with the BI strategy that Kreatek helped implement. Some of the successes have been giving the actuarial staff the information to identify product profitability and eliminate unprofitable lines of business, automating a large number of business processes as a result requiring less staff to do more and automating General Ledger interfaces from multiple administration systems. One of the key successes is allowing management to be confident in the numbers that are presented to them, the adage "One version of the truth." has been the motto of the BI project. Gone are the days when an employee has to manipulate data outside of a system in order to present a report to management. Also gone is the embarrassment of two people reporting different numbers to clients or executives.
