Assessing the Competitive Landscape for U.S. P&C Core Systems

New Aite Group research finds that digital transformation and the rise of ecosystems are newer elements for core system vendors to consider

Boston, MA (Apr. 9, 2020) – Core system vendors in the United States are forced to deal with a shifting property and casualty insurance landscape while serving carrier clients that might be resistant to change. Striking the balance between keeping up with an evolving industry and ensuring that all of carriers’ present needs are met poses a conundrum for these vendors. Aite Group’s latest report, Assessing the Competitive Landscape for U.S. P&C Core Systems, examines how core system vendors must position themselves with carriers in order to win their business.

“The competition for carriers’ business is (and always has been) pretty stiff, so each vendor attempts to position itself as more capable than other vendors so that carriers can draw clear distinctions,” explains Jay Sarzen, senior analyst at Aite Group. “The challenge for vendors is that they tend to focus on the same elements as other vendors when trying to create differentiation,” he adds.

This report shows how core system vendors position themselves against their competitors and how that positioning matches up with what carriers expect from their core system vendors. It is based on data that Aite Group collected in Q3 2019 from 15 vendors via requests for information as well as from reference surveys conducted among executives at 38 of their carrier clients.
