Financial Risk Intelligence is an end-to-end solution that manages data from source systems directly to the financial modeling platform, enabling insurers to assess financial risk better, gain greater visibility into their data and its lineage, and satisfy regulatory and compliance demands. By automating data aggregation, transformation and cleansing through a centralized data source, the solution also eliminates the cost of ad hoc repositories. The insight gained from these analytics can help insurers refine reserves and improve actuarial operations and financial performance.

"The power of technology and its ability to aggregate and present data in a digestible form can transform a business," said Craig Weber, senior vice president, Celent, a financial services technology research and advisory firm. "Successful insurers recognize that fact and position themselves to make timely improvements in their businesses based on this intelligence."

"Current economic conditions are forcing critical actions by insurers, as their financial risk modeling assumptions, including the timeliness and quality of their data, are being closely scrutinized," said Michael W. Risley, president of the Life and Annuity Division within CSC's Financial Services Group. "Working with Towers Perrin, we are offering a comprehensive solution that enables clients to understand and manage their financial risk quickly, accurately and with auditable and repeatable results."

"Pressure from regulators, rating agencies and investors is motivating insurers to evolve their use of financial modeling, from periodic financial reporting to the ongoing management of risk and capital," said Mike Oxley, managing director, Towers Perrin's Software Solutions. "With Financial Risk Intelligence, we can help insurers bring trusted data from CSC systems to our Tillinghast Actuarial Software(TM), MoSes(TM) and RiskAgility(TM) financial modeling systems in increasingly useful time frames."
