SunGard Releases Actuarial Modelling Solution

SunGard has announced the launch of iWORKS Prophet Enterprise, a new edition of SunGard’s actuarial modelling system, which helps insurance and other financial services companies meet their reporting responsibilities and enhance risk management. Prophet Enterprise adds a separate production control framework to help customers improve the performance, scalability, control, and auditability of their actuarial modelling. The product also will help customers to rationalize hardware and IT support costs while reducing actuaries’ administrative data work so they can concentrate on actuarial work.

iWORKS Prophet Enterprise has a client-server architecture through which calculations can be moved away from a desktop to a secure server environment for multiuser access. The architecture supports centralized processing for multinational companies that need to support separate business units or departments across an organization. iWORKS Prophet Enterprise utilizes a distributed processing environment to help increase the scalability of parallel runs; maximize hardware utilization; and provide quicker, smoother, and more automated results for faster and more efficient reporting.
