We held on to our obsolete claims and underwriting system for as long as we possibly could. When it finally became unsupportable, we were given a very tight replacement budget. We hired an outside development firm for the core application work and used Domo throughout the project to monitor performance to stay within budget.

NLC Mutual relied for years on a claims and underwriting system written in the 1980s. The company that wrote it has terminated support, and the NLC employee who used it has retired, so we contracted with a development company to write a new one for us. Building a new system rather than purchasing one is a difficult decision, so we needed to be able to monitor our spending to show our board that it was a smart financial decision.

When economic headwinds pick up, sales leaders are the first to sound the alarm — and chart a new course. Longer sales cycles, larger buying committees, increased price pressure, and smaller teams can quickly combine to reduce your margin for error and increase the urgency to find a solution.

The “loss triangle,” or loss-development triangle, is a forecasting tool used by finance departments at every insurer or reinsurer. It’s important because many insurance claims aren’t one-time events: the company still pays monthly claims against a three-year-old disability accident, for example. By showing how losses develop over time, loss triangles help an insurer forecast what it can expect to be paying for old claims, so it can maintain the legally required level of reserves.

A growing body of evidence shows that environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives are important to business growth. And it all relies on a simple fact: ESG issues matter to consumers.
