The report evaluates 12 vendors. According to the report, “This Magic Quadrant provides a lens into the North American market for life insurance policy administration systems (PASs) used by individual and group life and annuity (L&A) insurers.”
“Scalable core systems that support continuous change are critical to a stable and adaptable digital business technology platform,” says the Gartner report, authored by Richard Natale, Senior Director Analyst. “Life insurance CIOs will find it essential to lay the groundwork for the iterative evolution of their digital business technology roadmap by modernizing their core systems.”
The report notes, “essential characteristics of modern core system that can support digital business include:
- Low-code product and system configuration with ease of self-sufficiency to configure the system rapidly without overreliance on the vendor
- An SOA that supports continuous integration using technologies common to all life insurance business models — such as APIs and an enterprise service bus (ESB)
- SaaS or off-premises deployment options that support a multi-cloud, hybrid systems portfolio
- Continuous integration/continuous delivery that provides seamless and frequent upgrades
- Digital accelerators, including business intelligence (BI) capabilities, with an array of dashboards and key performance indicators (KPIs) that assist with decision making, and portal capabilities to deliver a multichannel, intuitive user experience configurable for different distribution channels and devices”
