TROY, Mich., Nov. 16, 2005 -- iDashboards (www.iDashboards.com) has helped develop a Business Intelligence dashboard solution for Pioneer State Mutual Insurance Company. The solution provides real-time visibility of key performance indicators (KPIs) through Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) dashboards. iDashboards software helps companies provide their information users with visually rich, responsive, and personalized Business Intelligence dashboards to analyze, track, and drill-down through a wealth of information.

Tony Paris, VP of Information Systems at Pioneer exclaims, "iDashboards is the right tool at the right time, now we can easily customize dashboards. The flexibility of the tool allows us to quickly and accurately portray key performance metrics in a visually rich and easily understandable context."

Pioneer specializes in property-casualty insurance for individuals and businesses. Pioneer is now more than ever expected to provide the most accurate coverage possible and more expert advice to its agents. An EPM dashboard was required to evaluate Pioneer's business performance and to support timely decision making.

As a result of the joint effort between the iDashboards Professional Services team and Pioneer, a dashboard solution was developed that met the requirements of delivering timely and accurate KPIs such as policy and claim counts, written premium and incurred loss, and loss ratio. Pioneer executives are now able to monitor their KPIs and drill down to immediately examine trend breaks and exceptions.

For example, if Policy Count declines, a Pioneer executive can drill down to the underlying problem areas. The data can be drilled in multiple ways:

-- By Line of Business

-- By Geographic Location

-- By Insurance Agent

In the future, Pioneer envisions expanding portions of its EPM dashboards to its independent agents. iDashboards will provide a visually appealing and cost effective method for reporting information to Pioneer's agents.
