挑战
EOS sought user-friendly software that would “score” debts—in other words, a tool to assess the success of each step of the collection process. The required tool would need to serve internal decision-making processes, e.g., in the sense of deciding whether to go to court over debtor disputes, or whether it should collect a debt during a specific phase of the process, or skip a step, etc. In light of changes in the global—and, thus, also the Czech—market that are driving companies to retain their customers, a new system of procedures is coming about that brings with it the need to keep a debt out of the courts for as long as possible. This requires an advanced modeling tool that is capable of automating required processes in a suitable manner according to company needs, one that is quick, efficient, and reduces workload. EOS has found that all of these needs are met by a combination of STATISTICA Data Miner, STATISTICA SAL (Sequence, Association and Link Analysis), and STATISTICA Standard software. EOS has found that these tools from StatSoft CR together provide a suitable solution due to a favorable combination of user-friendly environment, acquisition cost, and requirements for implementation into its existing system.

解决方案
For maximum efficiency and successful debt collection processes, the EOS Group’s Czech branch, EOS KSI Česká republika, s.r.o., had been using its own collections software, which met the company’s needs. However, due to recent initiatives to increase the success of the collection process, the company decided to extend its system by adding a tool to assess the quality of collection steps using statistical data available in the internal system. Software installation was performed in house by EOS employees with minimal need for supplier support. Implementation included training and subsequent practical application and knowledge transfer during the creation of the first data mining model. STATISTICA is currently being used as a tool for assessing the likelihood that debt collection will be successful for selected EOS clients. The process begins with preparation of data such as type of client, nature of debt, debtor, region, and information on available contacts. The software then automatically processes the data based on models that have been developed and helps EOS decide on the future of each debt, for example, regarding the best way to contact the debtor. The overall likelihood the debt will be collected successfully is also valuable. STATISTICA has been integrated into the collection process in a suitable manner, not only through the scoring of debts, but also by uncovering new linkages in the process, the knowledge of which enriches the company’s expert rules.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
