    BERLIN - November 01, 2011 -

    At Momentum, the EMC Information Intelligence Group's global user conference, EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced that Generali Hellas, a member of the Generali Group (Assicurzioni Generali S.p.A.), the largest European insurance group and second largest global financial insurance company , has significantly enhanced its competitive position and operational efficiencies by deploying EMC® Documentum® xCP, an integrated platform for building dynamic business solutions and an action engine for Big Data.

    Customer Benefits:
    • Insurance Application Processing Time Shrunk from Weeks to Days: EMC Documentum xCP combines enterprise content management (ECM), business process management (BPM), intelligent capture, and compliance management, to increase productivity and decision making. Generali has accelerated insurance application processing time from weeks to days.

    Customer Challenges

    Founded in 1886, Generali Hellas is the oldest insurer in Greece. The company offers a wide range of specialized Life and non-life insurance products, and has shown particularly rapid growth, effectively tripling its portfolio over the past decade. Generali Hellas' previous information management infrastructure was impacting its ability to support its business strategy and competitive position. Generali evaluated several ECM, BPM, and capture solution providers, and selected EMC Documentum xCP as the most comprehensive solution to replace its legacy system.
