Abstract: In 2000, American Modern embarked upon a three pronged, long range initiative coined modernlink, to: a) web enable its insurance transaction processing b) replace its aging legacy processing systems and c) develop a knowledge management architecture. As part of the Enterprise Architecture Transformation initiative, American Modern created a roadmap to develop an Enterprise Data Model, an Operational Data Store, an Enterprise Data warehouse, a metadata management process, a themed analytic data mart layer, and an enterprise-reporting portal. This Knowledge Management architecture would provide the company with the ability to monitor, measure, and analyze existing business, refine and improve current practices, and identify new opportunities. Now, in its eighth year, the Knowledge Management architecture has delivered significant results. Please join us in learning about how our Knowledge Management Architecture helped us achieve the following: 20% annual increase in directly attributed new business; 25% improvement in current Product Review and Management cycle time; 21% improvement in Product Filings cycle time; and 2% reduction in total loss ratio directly attributed to the modernlink initiative
