Let’s look at some industry statistics

Most General insurance organisations are testing the SaaS waters with non-core or non-revenue producing

applications

Only 25% of those surveyed are using SaaS for a vertical specific application relating to core insurance

business functions, e.g. policy administration, claims management and processing, billing and payments, rating

and underwriting

Common barriers to deployment of cloud services for core insurance business systems are:

• Extensive customisations to the core applications which makes the deployment effort and TCO much expensive

• Regulatory requirements around data

Despite challenges, many general insurers are displaying interest to deploy cloud services for an insurance

core function-specific application in near to medium term.

location

on geographic regions. Data is

never transferred out of a region

(unless specifically actioned by a

client).

Australia region is based in

Sydney, so local data only resides

in NSW.

provider globally.

Financial Services companies in

Australia

What have we heard from you?

BUT

How about data security?

Is the regulator ok with it?

How reliable is it?

Do I have control over my environment?

How easy is it to change provider both for application and hosting?

Cloud is good Yes, it is cheaper It is scalable

It is good for my non-core

systems



Our view to your concerns

Data Security

Entire environment is PCI-

DSS compliant

Data security is integral to

AWS’ core business

Regulatory Approval

APRA approval would

depend on the solution

architecture

Reliability

Reliability is based on architected solution. It is entirely feasible to architect a

solution to 99.999%

Do I have control over my environment?

• Client has absolute control over their own environment

Is it suitable for core systems?

• A number of large companies already run large/all parts of their business on AWS
