president, Product Strategy, Oracle Insurance. "The adaptive data
modeling approach of Oracle Insurance Insight 7.0, combined with the

better-informed business decisions." New Features in Oracle Insurance 7.0 include:"Adaptive Data Modeling" via the new warehouse palette: Gives business users the power to configure lines of business via an

database structures and extract-transform-load (ETL) processes -speeding
up time-to-value for BI initiatives. Out-of-the-box insurance models or create-from-scratch option: Includes pre-built content and interfaces for six Property and Casualty (P&C) lines.
Additionally, insurers can use the warehouse palette to deploy any and
all P&C or General Insurance lines of business from scratch, helping insurers support
operations in any country.Leverages Oracle technologies: In addition to Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, the solution includes Oracle Database 11g as well as Oracle Data Integrator

Novarica's Insurance practice, and author of Business Intelligence in
Insurance: Current State, Challenges, and Expectations says, "The need for
continued investment by insurers in business intelligence capabilities
is widely understood, and the industry is acting. Arming the business
