The Business Challenge
New customer and market demands compel insurers to simplify business processes, improve effi ciency, and enable self-service in order to maintain or grow market share and profits. But many current IT systems and legacy packages inhibit innovation and operational improvements required to stay competitive. Some carriers have attempted to solve the problem using a big-bang approach to replace their back-end systems with modern packages, with varied results. Other carriers have taken a more tactical approach that met short-term needs but have failed to break down the silos of information between functions and lines of business. |

- Integrate the business services using industry standards (ACORD XML, Web services)
- Create dynamic portals for consumers to conduct business more easily and efficiently

| SOA For Insurance |
| Our SOA enablement Services deliver a flexible service-oriented architecture enabling access, control, and flexibility. This architecture provides abstraction, separation and independence of the services from application specific data and interface formats. This facilitates incremental migration of legacy applications to modern platforms without impacting other elements of the system. The result is speed, agility, and less cost to change. |

|
| |
| Combining our in-depth knowledge of insurance processes and our expertise in SOA, enterprise portal technologies, Web services, ACORD XML and other standards, we provide architectural guidance, design and development services, as well as post-delivery application maintenance using a global delivery model that optimizes resource usage and lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the application. |
| |
| Design Patterns and Best Practices |
Over time, we have developed a set of insurance application design patterns that reduce the risks and time to roll out new applications or to redevelop existing applications in a flexible, service-oriented architecture. The patterns define common business processes and the required business services. The design patterns and standard, insurance-specific business object model provide a jump-start to the development and modernization process. |
