Does your solution integrate with third-party systems or in-house systems?

Absolutely, it can pull in information from both third-party and in-house systems, as well as export data to analytics programmes if required.

Describe any features specific to insurance and specific to Solvency II

Accelus Risk Manager supports both operational risk for insurance and also the enterprise risk management requirements for ORSA. Accelus Compliance Manager for Insurance enables compliance executives at US-based insurance companies to manage the impact of regulatory change on their organisation, reducing the compliance risk they are exposed to. By using Accelus Compliance Manager for Insurance, compliance executives can track regulatory change, map and assign regulatory events to respective owners, document impact assessments, assign action plans, document and manage associated policies and controls, and provide reports to management and regulators.
