Assessing the potential recovery of health costs from a third-party insurance or liable person is an essential aspect of the compensation claims analysis process at AXA. Our membership program with SDSC helped us shortlist the most efficient solutions from the pool of complex possibilities that could well resolve our business problem. The solutions proposed by SDSC are pragmatic, efficient as well as scalable and could easily train on long documents which was our main bottleneck. We were impressed by their research and engineering capabilities geared towards a concrete application with a direct impact on our daily work, as well are their commitment to addressing our complex use case. We extend our warmest thanks to the whole team and look forward to working with them on the next round of challenges.
