Tags:

Overview Hall & Clarke Plc., based in Harrow, Middlesex, is among the largest insurance brokers in the United Kingdom. The insurance industry is undergoing rapid change. To stay agile enough to compete in this environment, Hall & Clarke needed new tools to strengthen its business intelligence and differentiate its services from those of its competitors. Hall & Clarke used Microsoft MapPoint and Office XP to perform location-oriented analysis of the current business reality (such as insurance policies, claims, and brokers) to identify trends and opportunities. MapPoint and Office XP contained all the necessary features for this solution. No custom development, expensive hardware, or other technologies or data were required. These products are also very easy to use, so Hall & Clarke employees did not need additional training.
