InSource & Hannover Life Re (UK) Scoop Major Award
Insource, along with Hannover Life Re (UK), one of the UK's leading life and health reassurers, have won the 2008 Obis Omni Champions Award.
At a glittering evening ceremony during the two-day event held at the Park Inn at Heathrow, Insource along with Hannover Life Re (UK) were handed the Champions Award for 2008. The companies won from a large field of candidates, including fellow Insource Data Academy user Heart of England NHS Trust who were also shortlisted.
Each submission was assessed by an independant panel of judges made up of four leading business intelligence experts - Eleanor Windsor, the Obis Omni Advisory Board, Mark Whitehorn, Research Associate, Cambridge University, Philip Howard, Research Director, Bloor Research and Nick Hussey, CEO, SayOne Media Ltd.
The panel judged entries against a number of criteria including:
- Innovative use of technology
- On-time, on-budget delivery
- Evidence of business transformation
- Impact of project on overall business growth or performance
After careful deliberations the judges were most impressed by the two companies' successful project to deliver quarterly management information packs for staff on a timely and cost effective basis, whilst also overcoming issues in data breadth, depth and quality.
"We are surprised and delighted to receive this award and at a receiving recognition from an organisation such as Obis Omni" said Mark Crawley, Head of Systems Development at Hannover Life Re (UK). "We feel it is a vindication of the project methodology and approach employed by both teams."
Jackie Sawyer, Director, Insource added. "I'm delighted for the Hannover Life Re (UK) team, who deserve recognition for the exemplary way in which they have approached this project; they have been model partners for our consultants throughout. I am also thrilled that Insource Data Academy is being recognised in this prestigious forum as the enabling technology."
