The QlikView applications automatically convert all linked data to the same key numbers and one currency. This makes all premiums and damage costs directly comparable regardless of country. The applications are updated once a month. Updates can of course be done at will, but Zurich Stockholm wants to maintain a certain stability in its system. It simplifies the discussion if everyone knows which version of a key figure is valid. Read More Log in to view content
