Services

MavenBlue provides a range of services to meet individual client requirements

Tailor-made functionalities

Add tailor-made functionalities to adapt the BSM Solution to your own risk management framework. Embed specific policies, methods, metrics or financial instruments (e.g. longevity swap) in order to fully reconcile with the way you prefer to manage and measure your risks. Your custom requests are implemented with the same quality and care as the standard functionality, and are fully documented and system tested before delivery to your acceptance test environment.

Interfacing

The BSM Solution can interface with your current systems in different degrees of robustness, but preferably it has an interface with your administration system for investments. Also liability cashflows and other balance items need to be connected. You can connect to the standard interfaces provided by the BSM Solution or we can develop a specific interface for your databases or systems.

Calibration

One more step needs to be taken care of in order to make the solution ready for your analyses. For modelling optionalities as part of the insurance policies, the BSM Solution makes use of a practical hedge portfolio. This portfolio needs to be calibrated in order to value your liabilities correctly under different scenarios. A separate module makes sure that you can easily do this yourself. After some final tuning to your initial value and risk profile, the BSM Solution is ready to go.

Training

Training sessions will be organised using practical examples related to your business. MavenBlue will ensure that you will be able to use all of BSM Solution’s functionalities and its many applications most effectively. Within the BSM Solution, online explanation and instruction is at your disposal.

Performant & Powerful

The annual full-license fee gives access to all the BSM Solution features and all software updates for a one year period. Choose a cloud, a private cloud or an on-premise implementation. License fees vary based on your implementation choice.
