Leveraging AI to transform legacy technology

Reducing the cost, complexity and risk of modernising legacy technology

Overview

Legacy technology remains one of the most persistent barriers to change across insurance. Ageing systems can be costly to maintain, difficult to integrate and increasingly dependent on specialist skills that are becoming harder to find. Yet replacing technology deeply embedded across underwriting, claims and placement processes can be expensive, complex and high risk.

The challenge is not simply how to replace legacy technology, but how to modernise it without creating tomorrow’s legacy problems.

AI is creating new opportunities to tackle these challenges differently. Rather than relying solely on large-scale replacement programmes, insurers are exploring how AI can help modernise applications, automate complex processes and unlock information trapped within legacy systems and documents.

This breakfast briefing will focus on three areas where insurers are applying AI to legacy technology challenges:

  • Application modernisation
  • Process orchestration and automation
  • Intelligent document processing

Through practical insurance examples, you will explore how organisations are using AI to accelerate modernisation, reduce the cost and risk of change and create more flexible technology foundations for future innovation.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Identifying where AI can accelerate legacy modernisation without requiring wholesale system replacement 

  • Reducing the cost and risk of modernising complex legacy applications 

  • Using AI and automation to connect fragmented processes, systems and data 

  • Building architecture and technology foundations that support future change and AI at scale

Case studies: Successfully deploying new approaches to modernise legacy technology

  • Deciding where AI can genuinely help with legacy modernisation and where traditional approaches are still the better option

     

  • Managing the risk of changing systems embedded in critical underwriting, claims and operational processes without disrupting the business

     

  • Dealing with poor documentation, fragmented data and complex integrations that make legacy modernisation harder than it first appears

     

  • Sequencing change so that modernisation reduces technical debt rather than creating a new layer of complexity for the future
