The ongoing need to increase market share and revenues requires the Insurance industry to continually examine the potential value of Mergers and Acquisitions. Ensuring any Merger or Acquisition delivers shareholder value quickly and effectively requires the new organization to have flexible and adaptable data management solutions that will quickly and efficiently rationalize, consolidate, migrate, and integrate data from the legacy organizations. This requires data from operational and analytical systems to support core business functions across front, mid, and back office systems as well as data from across all lines of the business including underwriting, actuarial, finance, risk, claims, sales and marketing. Whilst this is happening, the data and IT organizations need to rationalize the new application and data landscape whilst determining which systems remain and which should be decommissioned. This is to quickly eliminate redundancy and reduce operational costs.
