Case Study: Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance streamlines global financial reporting with DCSL Software Ltd

Intuitive modern data input and access portal to streamline financial calculations & reporting globally at Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance

Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance, part of Berkshire Hathaway, needed to modernize its outdated Visual Basic 6.0 front end so teams around the world could securely enter, access, and report on actuarial, financial, and regulatory data more efficiently. The company wanted a simple, intuitive web-based portal with strong database integration, support for structured and unstructured files, and reliable version control; DCSL Software Ltd was brought in to help.

DCSL Software Ltd built a modern web application using Microsoft technologies, including ASP.NET Core and SQL Server, with a responsive front end and secure user login. The new system was well received in testing and now lets users upload and retrieve contracts, spreadsheets, and other documents while preserving historical record versions; the result is reduced human error, lower operational risk and cost, and faster financial statement production, data retrieval, and auditing.
