Intro

The Legacy Tech Isolation

The technological landscape of the insurance industry is ever evolving, but interconnected partnerships continue to be the cornerstone of survival. The latest fundamental wave of technology introduced the computer to every insurance professional’s desk and made its use efficient through first generation software products. During this time, one of the fundamental challenges that the industry faced was the isolation created by legacy technology. Where previously free flowing data standards have been used, now systems were set up without embedded connectivity and strict data standards. This certainly didn’t helped the seamless flow of ideas and business. For years, the insulated structure of legacy technologies made it difficult for insurance companies to co-operate seamlessly with partners. Each company had to function as an individual entity, in a market which relies on third party distributors and personal connections like hardly any other in the world. Integration was trapped within organisational boundaries, limiting the industry’s overall progress in creating streamlined processes.
