Modernizing Legacy Tech in Insurance

There are internal and external pressures for insurers to modernize, but large-scale core system replacement initiatives are enormously complex, risky, and resource-intensive. As a result, many insurers find themselves constrained by legacy platforms that stifle their ability to be nimble and innovate.

Strategies to employ an incremental approach focused on enhancing the customer experience, enabling speed and agility, and pursuing incremental enhancements can help address immediate challenges while working toward the long-term modernization vision.
