The addactis success story: a deep understanding of stakes involved
Our IFRS 17 journey began nearly 20 years ago when we launched our first reserving software – IBNRS® – in 2003.
Over the years, we have been able to acquire a strong and recognized expertise in reserving calculation, and IFRS17 has been the logical extension of our offer.
In 2017, we created our internal Taskforce composed by R&D experts, actuaries and accountants, software designers… We have now succeeded in answering the main questions of insurers regarding IFRS 17: how to understand the regulation and above all, how to transform all the principles into a standard and flexible end to end solution covering all the topics: Actuarial (Cash Flow/RA /CSM engine), Finance (Subledger), andIT (ETL and Dataflow of the process).
The Top 3 IFRS 17 insurers’ needs

- to benefit from a tool that streamlines & facilitates interactions within and between IT, actuarial and finance departments.
- to have a modular and versatile solution compatible with a progressive and gradual setup of an IFRS17 solution over time.
