Dear readers,

The last few months have been very active for Prima Solutions.

New customers in all three regions we operate in (EMEA, North America and Asia) have joined the Prima products users community.

Prima IBCS™ 6.6 has been released, featuring new productivity tools, and a data warehouse module has been launched as an extension of our insurance reference model.

Our capacity to build innovative software products has been recognized by Oseo, the French agency for innovation, with a 375,000 Euros grant to support our R&D efforts.

Hugues Delannoy,
Chief Executive Officer,
Prima Solutions.

On the sales and marketing front, I am also glad to announce a new version of our web site and the joining of Maroun Tabet, who will oversee sales for our EMEA region.

Please feel free to visit our web site for more information and demos of our products.

Sincerely

Hugues Delannoy

Prima Solutions presents its new Data Warehouse solution. This decision-support-system allows easy reporting from information coming from a variety of sources, thus improving the way you make business decisions.

Prima IBCS™ is used as the common link between your systems and the Data Warehouse module. You can now benefit from the advantages of a Data Warehouse solution that is directly compatible with the standard insurance reference model. If you are already using Prima IBCS™ as your company's reference model, then all your system information is data warehouse-ready.

The most recent versions of Prima IBCS™ offer several enhancements designed to respond to the industry's needs in terms of functionality, in-depth business coverage and intuitive usage.

The Prima IBCS™ 6.5 reference model includes several enrichments to the Claims, Contract and Product domains, as well as a complete documentation re-write. Another key upgrade to the model is the addition of segmentation meta-data to better qualify and categorize the Prima IBCS™ Model content according to line of business (Life, P&C, etc.) and business activities (underwriting, contract management, etc.)

Version 6.5 also includes enhancements to the productivity suite. The persistency tooling was improved: the mapping wizard now includes a new approach to hierarchy mapping, making it easier and more intuitive to build data models iteratively and real-life projects on top of it. Prima IBCS™ 6.6 introduces two new features: the Documentation Editor and Usage Statistics Reporting.

The Documentation editor feature allows you to easily create and edit your project's documentation. It includes hyperlink-based navigation, auto-completion for model elements, automatic list of dependencies and more. Usage Statistic Reporting allows you to easily follow the evolution of your projects by sending usage statistics from the Prima IBCS™ Plug-in to Prima Customer Care for analysis. You can have access to information such as: the number of sessions started, the total session time and the mapping activity.

Prima Repository™ 6.1 includes several new features and upgrades that dramatically improve usability.

Services have been the main focus of this new version. Service implementation and invocation have been improved through the support of Spring as a service implementation and the possibility to use a service invocation to evaluate conditions.

Another important improvement for Prima Repository™ 6.1 is its localization in Japanese. This includes support for Japanese data as well as the translation of the Prima Repository™ Studio GUI. This localization is aimed to simplify development efforts for our Japanese clients.

Wafa Assurance selected Prima IBCS™ to jump start the redevelopment of its core life policy administration system.

With Wafa Assurance, the first insurance company in North Africa, Prima Solutions extends its presence to this continent.

Prima Solutions obtained a 375,000 € grant from OSEO to finance its innovative development plan: building off the shelf insurance applications based on its standard reference model Prima IBCS™.

Since its creation, Prima Solutions has focused its efforts on providing insurance companies with a software framework that accelerates their insurance applications development projects. As a result, Prima IBCS™, the Insurance Reference Model is today recognized as the only standard insurance model in the market since its adoption by ACORD as the foundation of the industry Information Model.

These funds will allow Prima Solutions to combine its innovative products and expertise to develop ready to use standard insurance applications, hence becoming the first provider of insurance business applications based on the ACORD Information Model.

Prima Solutions has just released the new design of its website. The new design is based on two needs: to make our website simpler, clearer and easier to navigate, and to better reflect the richness and range of all the solutions offered by Prima Solutions through its products and services.

The website's overall content and structure have been simplified to better match the new communication strategy. The new structure presents a better view of all the solutions Prima offers with an easy access to them. This structure and design also highlights our expertise and what we are capable of doing for you.

The graphic design, on the other hand, was completely reconceived to go to the essential, making it much easier for you to really get to know us and to find out how we can help you.
