How Finalyse can help
Process automation for (re)insurers
It is imperative to have streamlined and efficient operational processes in the insurance industry to enable quick responses to business needs, market, or regulatory changes.
Process automation can help reduce manual effort and reporting timelines (fast close), free up resources for value adding analysis, improve accuracy and control effectiveness.
To help (re)insurers achieve this, we set up the Finalyse Automation Centre of Excellence (FACE). The centre has developed expertise and best practices in cutting-edge automation and process transformation methodologies in the following domains:
- Actuarial and risk modelling
- Financial reporting
- Investments
- Pricing
Our approach is tool agnostic and driven by the needs and preferences of our clients. We apply an automation toolkit that includes powerful scientific computing (Python or R) and data management (SQL or SAS) tools supported by a team of experts with hands-on programming and domain expertise.
