Client Profile
- Industry:Global Reinsurance
- Size:Fortune 100 company with operations in 30+ countries
- Challenge:Complex risk assessment process with data siloed across multiple systems
- Solution:Implemented Single Risk View™ across global underwriting operations
The Challenge
As one of the world's largest reinsurers, this global company faced increasingly complex risk assessment challenges. Their underwriters were spending excessive time gathering and analyzing data from multiple systems, leading to:
- Lengthy risk assessment processes, often taking 2-3 weeks for complex submissions
- Inconsistent evaluation methods across different regions and underwriting teams
- Difficulty in identifying correlations between different risk factors
- Limited visibility into the complete risk profile of clients
With increasing competition in the reinsurance market and growing pressure to improve efficiency, the company needed a solution that could transform their underwriting process while maintaining their high standards for risk assessment.
"Our underwriters were spending up to 70% of their time gathering and organizing data rather than applying their expertise to evaluate risks. We needed a solution that could automate the data collection and provide a comprehensive view of each risk."
— Chief Underwriting Officer
