Thriving in a challenging environment
Life insurance and annuity companies face a highly competitive and evolving market. To thrive in this environment, insurers must quickly improve their ability to spot emerging trends and seize new opportunities. They also need to:
- Gain flexibility to meet changing customer expectations and demands
- Outperform new agile competitors who often target high-value market segments
- Replace decentralized legacy systems and fixed integrations that require expensive and time-consuming upgrades
- Reduce significant capital outlays for system changes that create barriers to true efficiency
- Comply with OFAC, DOL fiduciary standards and federal/state regulations

DXC delivers what insurers need
DXC Assure Policy is an end-to-end policy administration system that addresses the key challenges insurers face in today’s fast-changing market.
Increase sales and reduce service costs. Insurers can’t take advantage of a new opportunity if it takes months to create a new product. DXC Assure Policy offers maximum flexibility to define the system including the ability to implement company-specific rules, calculations and product features. Sell more by developing unique insurance products up to 80 percent faster than with older systems that require code changes. Policy service becomes faster with one-click transactions, coupled with at-a-glance graphics to help answer customer questions.
Improve the customer and producer experience. Customers want products that are simple to understand and buy. Adapting legacy systems to give customers that experience is expensive and time-consuming. And when the next generation of devices arrives, insurers will need to redevelop their solution all over again. DXC Assure Policy is built on a modular architecture that offers customers and brokers a tailored experience from the initial quote to the issued policy, with all service-related transactions handled online.
Lower IT cost of ownership. Legacy system costs and the obstacles they create in the transformation process are well documented. DXC Assure Policy offers insurers a new direction that dramatically reduces infrastructure costs — by 75 percent or more — and fully eliminates ongoing license expenses for proprietary components like databases. Our scalable solution is built on virtual hardware, so capacity always matches demand, eliminating the need to build excess capacity.
