Overview
As the London market moves towards an increasing digital and data driven ecosystem, insurers are under pressure to modernise legacy systems to improve efficiency, unlock insights from data and support digital growth & AI.
However, as legacy is often deeply embedded in complex underwriting, claims and placement workflows, transformation efforts must be pragmatic. Firms need to balance long-term modernisation goals with the need for immediate efficiency gains. That means prioritising high-impact areas, de-risking migrations and building on proven use cases – all while maintaining business continuity.
