Our Journey Today
INTERNAL USE ONLY
Zurich’s Performance Reporting is Based on Traditional Concepts
5
Paper based and static
Layered, with separate reports for each segment and region
Not easy to drill-in to the performance of a specific business units
Often not intuitive to navigate to the “root cause”
Is tablet enabled and can be accessed over the internet
Comprises financial information for the Group and all Segments
Allows to drill-in to each of the business units within segments
Is a fast track to answers on performance questions, triggering questions for specific deep dives
Our reporting today is… But we want something, which…
INTERNAL USE ONLY
Easy access via mobile devices, such as iPads (single sign-on is a must)
Accurate information (small error margins to accounting actuals; materiality matters)
Timely information (the best set of KPIs is worth little when it comes after the ‘battle’ has been fought)
Easy grasp of content (small adaptation effort) Relevant content (information must matter – less
is sometimes more, but not always) Performant application (the tool must have
meaningful response times and be reliable, to be adopted by impatient execs)
What Matters to our Future User Group
