Implementing Policy Administration Systems

An Independent, Trusted Partner is Key to Delivering Policy System Success

The insurance industry is changing so fast that insurers without a modern, flexible policy administration system will find themselves quickly falling behind the competition. Recent research indicates that implementing a modern policy administration system will be one of the most important technology initiatives insurers take on over the next 5 years. Additionally, 65% of insurers have a strategy to rip and replace their legacy policy administration system. Implementing a new policy system is likely the most complex and expensive project an insurer can undertake. Taking such a risk can be scary, but we believe that our resources can be a key component in conquering the challenge and delivering project success.

Policy system deliveries often get off track because of disparate goals and varying levels of expertise between the client and the software vendor. A software vendor can provide deep technical knowledge but often lack the skills to define and drive a holistic approach for accomplishing the project objectives. Conversely, the client’s technical knowledge about modern insurance systems may be limited at the start of the project hampering decision making and requirement definition. We believe that an insurer will have the greatest chance of success if they are able to find a trusted, independent partner to bridge this gap. By filling key roles on the project, the partner can help focus project goals, perform comprehensive scoping, operate as an expert intermediary with the software vendor, and offset high-priced vendor resources.

The insurance expertise at Centric runs deep with over 100 insurance projects completed over our decade in business.
