New technology is not a magic carpet for an organization to fly into the future.  Amazon launched in 1995 as the Earth’s biggest bookstore  but fast-forward today and it is a cloud computing leader and of course an e-commerce giant. The Amazon business model is built on asking itself  what next ?  That is why a  successful strategy is one where business model innovation has led the way for new technology transition. What’s business model innovation? For an organization to profit from innovation it has to be a company-wide undertaking. Insurers are facing the need to focus on personalizing the customer experience and they are turning to technology to meet this goal. And often this starts with a call for  PAS modernization  from stakeholders. However, technology on its own is like Mercury's  600  hp  V-12 Verado, the  world's largest  outboard engine confined to a boat on a small lake. It’s not going anywhere. In other words, a  sound business model should be wrapped around techn

7 Signs of a Legacy System - Sign 6 Might Surprise You

  The term ‘legacy systems’ often conjures up images of bulky on-premise systems and devices that haven’t been in circulation since the early 2000s. That might not be what your current platform resembles - but does that mean your software is truly up-to-date?  A legacy system needs to be defined by the capabilities it provides your organization, not necessarily by how long you’ve had it for.  For example, rather than asking yourself, “When was my current system implemented?” you might want to ask yourself, “Does my current system empower my team to collaborate efficiently in a secure environment?” Answering these questions will alert you to whether you need to kickstart the process of legacy modernization. For a functional definition, legacy can refer to any piece of software or even an entire system that blocks or reduces an organization’s ability to grow, shift and adapt in the face of changing market dynamics.

It made the news on the 21st of March, 2021 when an official statement claimed that they had been a victim of a “sophisticated cybersecurity attack”. Ransomware called  Phoenix CryptoLocker  affected fifteen thousand devices, disrupted their network, and impacted corporate mail and other systems. The amount of classified information that the attackers got their hands on is still unknown, but such a data breach in insurance can often start small and go undetected for long.   Why are cybercriminals targeting insurers? Insurance companies have often found themselves in the crosshairs of cyberattacks, especially after banks implemented highly secure networks that make them harder to breach. As with any industry, reaping the benefits of big data, AI, and the internet of things (IoT), comes the risk of cyberattacks.  Insura

The twin benefits of digitization and automation are right around the corner! But, before you realize it, scope creep has set all those careful plans to naught. Now your ‘go-live’ date is months beyond the original project management timeline.  While this may sound like a worst case scenario, the harsh reality is that insurance implementation can often take upwards of 18 months and cost more money than anticipated. However, this does not have to be the case. Quick implementation of insurance software boils down to one thing: efficient planning.  Why Project Timelines aren’t met  This scenario is more common than you would expect Also Read:  The Importance of System Architecture to Shorten Customization Time   Reasons for project failure costing you millions Not defining your requirements, leading to
