Insurer Cuts Modeling Time by Up to 99 Percent With High-Performance Computing

Overview Western & Southern Financial Group faced the challenge of running ever larger and more complex actuarial models as its number of policyholders and products grew and regulatory requirements changed. The company initially added dedicated workstations to process these models, but run times were long and it was difficult to keep scaling to meet demand. Western & Southern also tried an outsourced solution, but that proved expensive. Ultimately, the company chose an actuarial solution from Milliman that runs on Microsoft High-Performance Computing (HPC) technology. The solution is easy for the company's IT staff to manage and adjust to meet business needs.
