ARLINGTON, Va., June 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Willis Towers Watson (NASDAQ: WLTW ), a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company, has launched a new version of ResQ, its industry-leading loss reserving software. ResQ 4.1 provides property and casualty insurers with new reporting capabilities to further advance the software’s technical capability, in response to clients’ increasing need for faster and more efficient processes.
“ResQ’s new capabilities will give insurers greater confidence in meeting reporting challenges by improving ease of use, consistency and control, as well as streamlining the reserving process,” said Tina Gwilliam, global product leader for ResQ at Willis Towers Watson.
ResQ 4.1 provides a new integrated reporting facility and additional technical capabilities, together with enhancements to the software’s automation capabilities. Highlight features include:
- Users can now easily create reports (no coding required), selecting results/data using a drag-and-drop interface and simple configuration options. Better reporting gives greater understanding of results allowing users to make more informed business decisions.
- ResQ already has comprehensive automation capabilities via its COM API, but for those wishing to create a more controlled end-to-end solution involving multiple systems as well as ResQ, the company has improved the integration with Unify, its workflow automation and governance platform. Clients can therefore further streamline their processes to improve business efficiency and governance.
- ResQ is fully compatible with third-party cloud providers and can now be used as software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivered by Willis Towers Watson. These flexible deployment options ensure ResQ is available according to insurers’ individual needs.
“In this era of ever-tightening reporting deadlines and squeezed resources, ResQ offers much-needed efficiency through automation, while continuing to provide tools for accurate estimation in a secure, governed environment,” said Gwilliam.
