CMG, one of Asia’s leading financial services providers, realised that
closing sales on the spot was critical to success and a change in processes
could provide the company with an unbeatable competitive edge. The key
to this plan was to ensure that the CMG sales force had quick access to
information at all times.
With the HP iPAQ Pocket PC, the CMG team can access policies and
underwriting guidelines no matter where they are. Built-in financial planning
tools such as risk assessment and financial status analysis help them create
tailor-made solutions based on specific parameters. And prospective clients
can instantly evaluate alternatives using key criteria such as premium rates.
With the HP iPAQ, consumers can now get CMG financial solutions
anytime, anywhere. There’s no more waiting for the agent to return to the
office, process a service offering and present an appropriate proposal.
“Compared to other platforms,
the HP iPAQ offers more
performance and expansion
possibilities, such as built-in
support for Bluetooth, which
makes it easier for us to add
future functionality such as
remote connectivity.”
