ISO Selects SAS Software

ISO will use software from SAS to build more accurate analytic models for the property/casualty insurance industry.

ISO (Jersey City N.J.) has selected software from SAS (Cary, N.C.) to help build more accurate analytic models for the property/casualty insurance industry. With the SAS partnership, ISO also expects to realize more efficient data warehousing and improved risk mitigation in model maintenance and archiving.

SAS offers the grid-enabled Enterprise Intelligence Platform that ISO can use to build analytic models more quickly and with increased computing bandwidth for simultaneous users. Visualization capabilities will also reduce data exploration timelines, while its built-in model assessment and comparison capabilities require no separate coding.

ISO will deploy the SAS GRID computing infrastructure for diagonal scalability to support future growth drawing on grid technology to extend and increase the life span of its investment in hardware resources.
