Insurance · Case study
Identifying shared technology opportunities across an insurance group.
An insurance group assessed applications and infrastructure across two business segments to identify rationalization and shared-service options.
Client context
The business context.
An insurance group operated separate technology portfolios across two business segments. Local applications and distributed infrastructure had developed over time, leaving overlapping capabilities, inconsistent standards and lifecycle issues.
The group needed to understand which capabilities could be shared and which differences the businesses still required. Consolidation opportunities also depended on reliable asset information, common data definitions and consistent operating responsibilities.
The work
How the engagement was delivered.
Compare application coverage and technical condition
Assessed business-capability coverage and application health across the two portfolios. Identified overlap, obsolete platforms and opportunities to share applications or reusable components.
Review infrastructure and service options
Examined the distributed infrastructure and support arrangements. Developed consolidation and virtualization options, together with considerations for network services, continuity and consistent service levels.
Set out the governance dependencies
Connected the proposed changes with architecture standards, data definitions and lifecycle responsibilities. Distinguished assessed findings from opportunities that required further validation before investment or implementation.
What changed
Options for a more coherent technology portfolio.
The group had a cross-business assessment and a set of application rationalization, infrastructure consolidation and governance priorities. The opportunities and their governance dependencies were set out for further validation and investment planning.
