Case Study: Milliman achieves faster actuarial modeling and scalable cloud reporting with Microsoft Azure

Milliman Consulting - Customer Case Study

Milliman Consulting, a major actuarial and financial services firm, faced a significant challenge as its manual financial modeling and reporting processes were consuming an estimated 70% of its actuaries' time. To address the high cost and complexity of its on-premises grid computing and to free its staff for higher-value work, the company sought a cloud-based solution from Microsoft.

Microsoft implemented a solution using its Azure platform, specifically leveraging Azure Data Factory and Azure HDInsight. This move to a software-as-a-service model eliminated the need for costly infrastructure and provided massive, on-demand scalability. The results were substantial, with clients increasing their computational usage by over 600% to 45 million compute hours and achieving a 99.99% job completion rate, allowing actuaries to focus on analysis and insight.
