IT services providers fulfill demands for modernization, innovation, and rare skill sets: Novarica
Boston, MA (Mar. 12, 2019) – Insurers are investing in new business and underwriting technology to meet evolving customer needs and leverage new analytics capabilities, according to research and advisory firm, Novarica. The latest Novarica Market Navigator, Life/Health/Annuity New Business and Underwriting Systems, profiles 22 vendors offering solutions to North American insurers in this space.
“For carriers who are focused on addressing aging technology stacks, old platforms are frequently monolithic environments that support a variety of functions within a tightly integrated and inflexible platform,” said Rob McIsaac, Executive Vice President and lead author of Novarica’s new report. “This may have produced a series of historic advantages but now leaves these carriers with rigid environments that make it very difficult and expensive to deploy new products and capabilities which are key to future competitiveness.”

A preview of the brief is available online.
