关于客户
Colonial Life, an affiliate of Unum Group, is a market leader in providing benefits solutions in one neat package: excellence in communications, enrollments, service, and personal insurance products and services that make benefits count for employers and their employees alike. For employees whose insurance plans leave them feeling vulnerable, Colonial Life can help restore peace of mind through personal insurance products that complete their coverage. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., and founded in 1939, Colonial Life offers a broad line of personal insurance products including disability, accident, life, cancer, critical illness, hospital confinement and limited benefit medical coverage.
挑战
In 2005, Colonial Life's Business Intelligence and IT groups decided to provide improved analytic and reporting capabilities to its user community. However, it was imperative for user acceptance of any solution that it be as easy to use as possible at all skill levels. In addition, high transaction volumes among the company’s 60,000+ customer accounts meant that the chosen solution needed to aggregate information quickly and completely to facilitate decision-making. A visit to a data warehousing conference brought QlikView to the attention of Bryan Allen, the company’s Assistant Vice President of Business Intelligence. After an evaluation process put six tools through their paces, the Colonial Life team ultimately selected QlikView based on their capabilities, ease of use, and performance.
解决方案
Since the selection of QlikView, nearly 100 QlikView applications have been deployed across the company, with 400 internal users able to quickly analyze data volumes up to 50 million lines. Colonial Life offers customers state-of-the-art, flexible enrollment capabilities. The company’s web-based Harmony enrollment system allows not only enrollment, but field-based configuration and setup for each case. This system supports Colonial Life’s 7,800+ agents and brokers. Harmony quickly became a differentiator for Colonial Life, with field agents able to present products to customers and enroll them from the same application. However, a solution needed to be developed to support Harmony reporting to provide sales, marketing and finance teams with a comprehensive analysis of the data across product offerings, geographies and other key indicators. Harmony reporting using QlikView quickly filled the gap.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic.
