SaaS, software as a service, is now an intriguing alternative for P&C insurers. According to a Aite-Novarica report, “P&C carriers have gone from being skeptical about cloud computing to embracing 'cloud first' infrastructure strategies.” 

SaaS solutions: Built for the future 

Transferring P&C core insurance processes, data and infrastructure, to a SaaS partner is a game-changer. According to McKinsey, “standard [software] systems are typically much more streamlined and include ready-made functionality for pricing, underwriting, customer self-service and automation, and claims processing. As a result, they can improve efficiency across the enterprise.”  

Built for the future, multitenant, single platform SaaS solutions, are critical to the success of digital transformation for P&C insurers. SaaS solutions offer huge financial and logistical benefits. With SaaS, software resources are focused on configuration versus customization, shortening overall project plan timelines, ending compatibility issues, and achieving economies of scale. SaaS solutions reduce complexity and costs enabling insurers to focus less on maintenance-oriented tasks and more on projects that support P&C insurance business strategy.  

Considerations around technical infrastructure, architecture, and security have already been made by the SaaS provider, enabling P&C carriers to focus on configuring core insurance software to meet their needs rather than worrying about whether they have the most up-to-date version of core insurance system apps.  

Analytics is central to insurance core processes. It drives the insurance business from claims adjustment to underwriting, policy, rating, billing, and pricing. SaaS providers enable P&C insurers to make data-driven decisions with more confidence in the accuracy of the data, and better integration of functions with no organizational silos. Sharing information becomes easier, encouraging collaboration across the system.
