iWORKS Prophet Overview
Are you prepared for tomorrow's global insurance industry? iWORKS prophet’s actuarial software can help you get there.
Over the last few years the insurance industry has seen constant change to meet many new challenges. This has been primarily brought about by regulatory requirements and internal changes to business practices.
Actuaries need to play a key role in meeting these new challenges, including developing capital models in order to understand the economic cost of capital, assess solvency, and manage operational and enterprise risk.
What is iWORKS Prophet?
SunGard iWORKS Prophet is an enterprise-wide actuarial modelling system. It helps insurance and other financial services companies to meet their reporting responsibilities and improve risk management. Actuarial libraries engineered separately from the modelling system deliver solutions which can be customised and deployed around the world.
Who uses iWORKS Prophet?
Actuaries from both life and general insurance companies use the iWORKS Prophet system, including some of the largest global insurance companies. However, it’s also used by actuaries from banks and other financial organizations.
