SunGard’sProphet Data Management Platform further supports insurers’ needs for the efficient production of accurate management information and regulatory reports.

Rob Mannix, asset management & insurance editor, Risk.net, said: “A more demanding regulatory environment is placing the performance of insurers’ risk and actuarial functions in sharper focus. Actuaries need to deliver more detailed and reliable risk information, more quickly, and with greater transparency around how processes are managed. Together with risk managers, they also need to provide reliable risk-based business intelligence to help steer their firm. SunGard’s continued investment in its Prophet solution both in terms of its actuarial modelling as well as the delivery and presentation of risk intelligence have helped it to earn this recognition.”

Our customers are looking to streamline their end-to-end risk processes involving ever-increasing volumes of data to achieve greater efficiency, and to convert that data into better business intelligence for an expanding audience. Investments in Prophet’s capabilities by way of advanced analytical techniques, process management and automation capabilities, and managed cloud services are important pillars in this effort.
