Reclaiming control of the core: Transforming legacy to fund digital progress
Reducing the cost and risk of legacy estates to unlock change, innovation and investment
Bob Bob Ricard, Leadenhall
Free to attend | Only 15 places
Overview
From keeping the lights on to delivering digital transformation
For insurers and brokers, a large proportion of technology spend is still tied up in keeping legacy environments running.
Perpetually licensed software, mainframes and heritage middleware platforms remain operationally critical, coupled with long-standing vendor maintenance contracts, but absorb budget and capacity that organisations increasingly need elsewhere to remain competitive.
What was once justified as the cost of stability is now becoming a constraint on innovation and progress. Rising maintenance fees, forced upgrades, subscription pressure and aggressive vendor commercial tactics are making it harder to fund transformation while continuing to “keep the lights on”.
This breakfast briefing will focus on how organisations are shifting this balance. You will explore practical approaches to reduce legacy cost and risk without destabilising core operations, and using those freed up resources to enable modernisation, digital delivery and business change.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Redirecting technology spend from maintenance into growth, innovation and underwriting performance
- How to manage legacy differently to improve flexibility and take out cost
- Building a more resilient operating model while modernising legacy estates at a controlled pace
- Creating an environment for digital initiatives, automation and operational transformation
Speakers
