Description: This presentation is a panel discussion, session 32PD, from the 2004 Spring Meeting of the Society of Actuaries, held May 19-21 in Anaheim, CA. The concept of data warehousing means different things to different people. For actuaries, the primary focus is on improved access to timely information and applications that enable them to work more efficiently and produce better results. The panelists discuss the business side of data warehouses, noting that the real value in a data warehouse, or in an analytic platform, is whether you can actually use the data after you get it out, and discuss experiences in building data warehouses for actuaries in life and health companies. Discussion from participants is included. From the Record of Society of Actuaries, Volume 30, No. 1.
