Insurance CIO: Integration Layer is Key to Modernization

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Modernizing core systems in the insurance industry, particularly for annuities and life insurance, presents significant challenges due to the long lifespan of policies and the complex web of legacy integrations. Sanchet Pachpute, CIO of New York Life Insurance Company, highlights that the primary difficulty in platform migrations lies not in selecting a new system, but in managing the numerous point-to-point connections with existing systems. To address this, Pachpute advocates for building a dedicated, permanent integration layer that acts as an intermediary between internal systems and external platforms, thereby making future platform changes more manageable.
