Towers Watson, a global professional services company, announces the release of its Emblem 4.3 pricing software, which includes speed improvements, allowing it to perform 20 percent faster than the previous version. Emblem is used by property & casualty insurers to model claim experience and business demand in order to price premiums effectively.

Emblem XE 4.3 is designed for companies with large data sets. It takes full advantage of multiple processors—up to 128 processor threads—and 64-bit systems. In comparative tests on a variety of typical pricing models and hardware/software configurations, Emblem XE 4.3 performed, on average, five times faster than its previous version and 30 times faster than the previous standard edition.

"These are substantial speed improvements that will help companies explore their data more thoroughly and maximize their profitability," says Duncan Anderson, Towers Watson's global p&c pricing and product management leader.
