Architecture, Implementation Capabilities, and Roadmap May Soon Outweigh Current Functions in Differentiating Core Systems

Novarica’s new executive brief asks insurers whether a given core solution will evolve to meet tomorrow’s needs with flexibility and speed

Boston, MA (Oct. 13, 2020) – Replacement projects may once have been about solving current pain points with specific functionality, but insurers today should be looking to where potential solutions are headed. In the new executive brief, Core Systems of Tomorrow, research and advisory firm Novarica frames the criteria to consider when selecting a modern core system for the future.

“Assessing out-of-the-box functionality and approaches will remain important,” says Chuck Ruzicka, Novarica Research Council Fellow and co-author of Novarica’s new report. “But architects will be increasingly involved in evaluating the potential impact of emerging architectures and approaches on speed to market, scalability, and total operating costs. CIOs should continually evaluate their current core system providers’ solution roadmaps and progress against these trends.”
