About Arius
Arius is a self-contained solution that eliminates the potential spreadsheet risk inherent in tools developed by many in-house insurance reserving teams.  The system provides a full array of exhibits, methods, and management reports.  Users can also easily build custom analyses as necessary to address unique circumstances.  By combining new diagnostic tools and dashboards with the system's modeling capabilities, actuaries can derive central estimates of their unpaid claim liabilities as well as the potential variability around those central estimates.  The system's graphs and exhibits allow analysts to better understand and explain the nature of that variability to other stakeholders and followers of the organization, such as boards, rating agencies, and regulators, promoting greater transparency and more informed decision making.  More information about Arius is available at www.actuarialsoftware.com.
