Insurance Company Accelerates Time-to-Market 25 - 37 Percent With Policy Rating Engine
Overview Electric Insurance Company (EIC) wanted to shorten its release cycle for new products and add flexibility to existing offerings. EIC's pricing analysts were modeling price changes in spreadsheets, and its IT department then redundantly coded the new rates in COBOL. EIC turned to Decision Research Corporation (DRC), a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, to help streamline the process. DRC deployed V1STA RateMaker, a rating engine that utilizes Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Office Excel 2003. V1STA RateMaker receives the analysts' spreadsheets as its input to generate rating services, bypassing the need to reprogram new rating calculations.
