At the Heart of Delivering Seamless

Services

Wanted: Nimble and Agile Product Implementation

The insurance industry is at an inflection point and businesses are facing common challenges in managing and maintaining policy administration systems—be it legacy or Duck Creek platforms. Legacy systems are inflexible with regard to development of new insurance products, having huge licensing costs and poor end-user experience. They also have constraints in adapting to new technology platforms such as Cloud and Web-based services. Maintenance of legacy systems is also costly and requires highly skilled and technically competent resources. On the other hand, businesses already on the Duck Creek platform face challenges while going in for business expansion (new state/LOB rollouts), version upgrades (due to frequent product version releases), renewal of existing contracts to new platforms (renewal conversion), and ongoing maintenance due to lack of best practices and unavailability of right productivity tool sets.

Scarcity of technically competent and skilled Duck Creek resources due to the demand and supply gap further deepens the problem.

Today, insurers want nimble and agile product implementations to speed up time-to-market, and promise quality and prompt services to customers / agents / brokers.

Success Story 1: Consolidated Policy Administration System on Duck Creek for a Leading P&C Insurance Carrier

We helped a leading P&C insurance carrier with A rating from AM Best in Mid-West USA, consolidate their Policy Administration System on Duck Creek. The insurer faced challenges in platform transformation and consolidation and was unable to support and maintain its Duck Creek PAS.

Through an evaluation process, the insurer chose NIIT Technologies as its Duck Creek solution provider. Our highly skilled resources in DCT successfully implemented various product releases, fixed production policies, optimized various batches, and provided value-added tools to improve productivity and quality.

Success Story 2: Performed Platform Transformation and Consolidation for a Leading Specialty Insurance Carrier

We assisted a leading Specialty Insurance carrier providing commercial property, casualty, healthcare, professional liability, executive and professional lines insurance, and programs for customers across the US in platform transformation and consolidation—accelerating time-to-market for new state rollouts, and support and maintenance of Duck Creek PAS.

The insurance carrier chose NIIT Technologies as a solution provider for Duck Creek business analysis and development activities. We successfully implemented various product releases, and provided support and maintenance for Duck Creek PAS Commercial Lines (Commercial Property, Commercial General Liability, Executive and Professional Lines, and Healthcare Professional Liability). Our experts also provided support and maintenance of Hyland OnBase integration with Duck Creek.

The client, one of the top national P&C carriers in the US, offering both Personal (Personal Home, Auto, Dwelling Fire, Package) as well as Commercial (Package, Business Owner, Auto) lines to its customers, had serious project implementation problems. They were facing a talent crunch along with an enterprise-level cost delay of about $2 million per month.

NIIT Technologies became their strategic IT partner for Duck Creek implementation in 2011. We successfully implemented new and renewal business for both Personal and Commercial Lines, performed data migration, developed a Testing Center of Excellence, provided support and maintenance, and developed configuration management and document conversion systems.

NIIT Technologies has strategic IT partnership for Duck Creek implementation with the insurer, a leading 100-year-old P&C insurance carrier among the top 100 insurance organizations in US, since 2008. We successfully performed Duck Creek version upgrades, new state rollout, Errors and Omissions LOB implementation, and PAS integration with legacy claims system. We also supported and maintained their Duck Creek platform for both Commercial and Personal lines.
