LONDON, May 4, 2022 – WTW (Willis Towers Watson, NASDAQ: WTW) has announced the launch of the newest version of its industry-leading loss reserving and financial reporting software. ResQ 5.3 introduces a number of new features including ResQ Agent Processing, a new capability that represents a major evolution of the ResQ Enterprise Processing Engine.
“ResQ Agent Processing offers reserving teams the capabilities they need to work more quickly and efficiently.”
Tina Gwilliam|Global Proposition Leader for Reserving and ResQ at WTW
ResQ Agent Processing offers significant improvements to performance and speed, enhancing the functionality of the software’s reserving and IFRS 17 reporting capabilities. When carrying out core user activities with ResQ Agent Processing - such as updating methods or rolling forward a project - the underlying calculations are no longer carried out on the user’s machine. Instead, they are intelligently distributed across multiple ResQ agents1. This offers the following key benefits:
Tina Gwilliam, Global Proposition Leader for Reserving and ResQ at WTW, said: “Shrinking timescales and increasing workloads continue to add to already existing pressures on reserving teams. ResQ Agent Processing offers these teams the capabilities they need to work more quickly and efficiently. Client partners who participated in our beta programme were able to conduct regular activities up to ten times faster with Agent Processing.
“ResQ users will be able to deliver their work more quickly, using the time saved to delve deeper into their analysis and provide meaningful insights back to the business.”
This update includes additional investment and improvements in other areas ranging from our Data Exporter function to IFRS17 capabilities.
