(Comments from The Dominion)
June 2012, Techdecisions – As technology changes the way insurance carriers do business, companies are forced to adapt to those changes. But the technology is not the only thing changing; so too is the way carriers go about purchasing integrated solutions-particularly those core solutions that are so vital-and expensive-to buy.
Charlene Malonie, assistant vice president, solutions architecture for The Dominion of Canada General Insurance, takes pride in the fact she hired architects who had worked for software development companies before joining The Dominion. “I also was fortunate to find ones that had worked in insurance,” she says. “We recognized that our existing teams didn’t understand new technology or new architectures. They didn’t have the experience with product selection that we needed to dig into the questions.”
The Dominion selected the OneShield Dragon system for its policy administration system and Mitchel Maykel, senior marketing manager for OneShield explains that it was important for the carrier to rely on OneShield to help transition knowledge, and build up expertise within the carrier’s IT organization.
Greg Hillier, vice president, application delivery for The Dominion, believes consulting groups are leading the way initially for insurers in terms of pushing projects forward because they have expertise that most carriers don’t have.
