So your budget provides for a long-needed technology evolution. That’s excellent. The key now is to coordinate all the moving parts of your organization to ensure a smooth selection of and transition to a new IT system.

For insurers, program administrators and managing general agents (MGAs), the dream of moving forward into the newest generation of high-speed, accessible, secure, big-data-competent technology could turn into a nightmare if all sectors of the organization don’t collaborate in harmony. The key problem is that business must continue while the technology is developed, tested and finally implemented throughout your company. And it needs to continue smoothly.

Seamless transitions, while popularly promoted, are a rarity. Legacy systems contain information as well as processes that users are afraid of losing, and that fear can lead to a systemic anxiety or, worse, entrenchment. The best companies integrate those concerns and probabilities into their planning for a technology shift. People are groomed for the change from the earliest stages. Their input is sought, and they are shown how that input affects decisions along the way. The training they need begins early and is articulated to them as a value-add for their career—another tool in their professional toolkit.

Celent recently announced its “Model Insurer” awards for technology, which were based on an evaluation of effective technology use. The winner of the “Operational Excellence in IT Management” offers a solid example of achievable processes and outcomes. That insurer was able to shift IT platforms and migrate its insurance business while simultaneously launching new products and adding to its business growth. The alignment between the IT shop, the business production units and the technology vendor resulted in needed and quality technology evolution along with strong business results.
