Transforming Policy Lifecycle Management: How ChainThat is Revolutionizing Insurance Migration Efficiency
Data migration poses significant challenges for insurance companies, often resulting in budget overruns and project delays. Recent research by Gartner indicates that a staggering 83% of data migration projects either fail or exceed their budgets and timelines. This situation presents serious risks for insurers, including compliance issues, operational disruptions, and potential financial losses. Fortunately, ChainThat provides an innovative solution tailored for the insurance sector.
Understanding the Challenges of Insurance Data Migration
Insurance data migrations frequently fall short due to a variety of underestimated factors. According to a report by Forbes, only 36% of migration projects remain within budget, while a mere 46% are completed on time. These statistics underline the pressing concerns insurance leaders face, such as:
- Data Security: Ensuring that policy data is secure during the migration process.
- Compliance: Adhering to regulatory frameworks like GDPR and IFRS 17.
- Business Continuity: Maintaining uninterrupted operations throughout the process.
Key Migration Challenges
Some of the critical challenges encountered during data migration include:
- Ensuring that migrated policy data is secure, accurate, and complete.
- Managing policy renewals and endorsements effectively post-migration.
- Integrating new policy products while preserving data integrity.
- Minimizing business disruptions and ensuring smooth operational continuity.
