The Challenge
Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT) is an international group of risk specialists and employee benefits consultants. The firm wanted to give its global executives access to real-time information on mobile devices to help them deliver great customer service. However, JLT needed to replace its existing business intelligence (BI) infrastructure and move away from its labour-intensive approach to business discovery. The company had a large data warehouse, but all of the analytics were pretty much after the event. Internal analysis at JLT took time and there was uncertainty about the accuracy of the findings. It led people to question what they were seeing. JLT wanted to adopt a more intuitive, real-time, graphical solution that better suited its global dynamic workforce and commitment to business transformation.

Listed on the London Stock Exchange, the group employs more than 7,000 people in around 135 countries. JLT prides itself on its client-first, knowledge-led global business strategy. The firm wanted to give its global executives access to real-time information on mobile devices— helping them deliver great customer service.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
