Business intelligence (BI) is a technology-driven process for analyzing data and presenting
actionable information to help corporate executives, business managers and other end users
make more informed business decisions.
The potential benefits of business intelligence programs include accelerating and improving
decision making; optimizing internal business processes; increasing operational efficiency;
driving new revenues; and gaining competitive advantages over business rivals. BI systems
can also help companies identify market trends and spot business problems that need to be
addressed.
BI data can include historical information, as well as new data gathered from source systems
as it is generated, enabling BI analysis to support both strategic and tactical decision-making
processes. Initially, BI tools were primarily used by data analysts and other IT professionals
who ran analyses and produced reports with query results for business users. Increasingly,
however, business executives and workers are using BI software themselves, thanks partly to
the development of self-service BI and data discovery tools.

to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the development in the

Insurance Companies in the Present Global Scenario
The most important aspect for any financial services institution dealing with today's
regulatory framework is the need to build an integration, risk, compliance and regulatory
environment. The globalization of business, the proliferation of, and dependency on,
technology, and the preservation of a trusted and secure environment to facilitate financial
institutions, all require financial services organizations to have in placed the mechanisms to
ensure sound and reliable security and privacy. The industry's landscape is continuously
changing and increasing in complexity across financial services, causing firms to face a
diverse array of challenges and concerns. Role of Private sector has grown rapidly in the
The insurance industry, as an integral part of the financial services industry does not stand
apart from the profound changes in the financial sector. Recently we are witnessing an
enhanced competition in the insurance industry probably due to the opening up of this sector
to private participants. There is a close inter-action between insurance and economic growth.
As economy grows, the living standards of people increase. As a consequence, demand for
insurance increases. As the assets of people and of business enterprises increase in the
growth process, the demand for general insurance also increases. In fact, with the widening
of the economy, the demand for new types of insurance products emerges. Insurance now
extends not only to product market but also to service industries including finance. It is
equally true that growth itself is facilitated by insurance. The global consolidation of the
financial services sector is in large part driven by acquisition activity. Companies competing
for a greater share of consumer funds are seeking quick access to new markets, new products
6
and new channels of distribution, both domestically and economically.
Grounded in a deep understanding of the issue, we have tried to deal with today's life
insurance and financial services environment in a very lucid manner covering all the aspects
such as productivity, management of processes, growth drivers, and critical factors for
Indian insurance companies may be started by domestic entities in joint venture with foreign
entities, with the latter holding a maximum of26 per cent of the equity.
According to the latest data, in life and non-life insurance, the new entities have already
managed to garner more than 20 per cent of the new business premium. In banking, foreign
banks in India now have a share of only around 7 per cent of total banking assets. Recently,
the RBI released an ambitious road map for increasing the presence of foreign banks in
India. As per the guidelines, the aggregate foreign investment from all sources will be
allowed up to a maximum of 74 per cent of the paid up capital of the private bank. The
roadmap is divided into two phases. In the first phase, between March 2005 and March 2009,
foreign banks will be permitted to establish presence by way of setting up a wholly owned
banking subsidiary (WOS) or conversion of the existing branches into a was. Further, during
this phase, permission for acquisition of shareholding in Indian private sector banks by
eligible foreign banks will be limited to banks identified by the RBI for restructuring. During
the second phase commencing in April 2009, the RBI may permit merger/acquisition of any

The public sector at present dominates the Indian financial services sector. The Government
does not have enough money to sustain the expansion plans of the present public sector
enterprises. For example, the recent public issue by Punjab National Bank has brought down
the Government's stake from 80 per cent to 57 per cent. On the other hand, foreigners hold
more than 70 per cent of the equity in the two leading private sector banks in India, namely

operationaldata in ways that answer relatively simple questions. With more effort,
information from multiple data bases is integrated, consolidated, and correlated, leading to
answers to more complex questions. More sophisticated data analytics tools, like Hadoop*,
can be introduced to bring in unstructureddata sources, like research reports, allowing
predictive analytics to be performed. At the highest level, cognitive analysis can be used to
answer human behavioral questions regarding patient sentiment, loyalty, and retention,
among other things.
