Challenges
- Needed a forecasting software application to supplement the existing underwriting system.
- Their underwriting software at the time was essentially a schemes administration and processing system which contained no facility to forecast future receipts, earnings and claims of the third party schemes underwritten.
- Cumbersome Excel models containing historical data and long-winded formulas were managed for each of the 700 schemes underwritten by UK General, so spreadsheet size and system resource-limited the number of months and years ahead that we are able to forecast
The Result
- Developed a series of models which allowed growth curves for each of the 700 schemes that delivered moving averages.
- The final model which had been produced now enabled a complete reforecast to be produced in under one minute from a change being made.
- The end users get a level of analysis and flexibility which was totally unavailable to them using their previous spreadsheet models.
