Industry Challenges

What Is Holding Insurance Companies Back

The insurance industry faces a convergence of challenges — legacy systems limiting digital transformation, rising claims costs, tightening regulation, and InsurTech competition. Each challenge has a measurable financial cost when left unaddressed.

Legacy Core System Debt

Most P&C and life insurers run core policy, claims, and billing systems that are 15-30 years old — written in COBOL or early Java, difficult to integrate, and impossible to extend for digital products. These systems are the single biggest barrier to insurance digital transformation.

Business Cost 15-25% of IT budget consumed by legacy maintenance. New product launches taking 12-18 months instead of weeks.

Manual Claims Processing

Claims operations remain largely manual in most carriers — FNOL intake by phone, adjuster desk allocation by spreadsheet, reserve setting without data support, and settlement approval chains that add weeks to resolution time. Manual claims cost 3-5× more per claim than automated processing.

Business Cost Average claims handling cost 30-50% higher than digital-first InsurTech competitors.

Claims & Application Fraud

Insurance fraud costs the UK industry £1.2 billion annually and US industry $40 billion. Rule-based detection systems generate high false positive rates that penalise genuine customers and overwhelm SIU teams, while ML-based detection at application and claims stage remains under-deployed in most carriers.

Business Cost 10-15% of claims contain some element of fraud or misrepresentation. Rule-based systems miss 60%+ of novel fraud patterns.

Slow Underwriting & Pricing

Commercial underwriting — particularly SME and mid-market — relies on manual data gathering, underwriter judgment without analytical support, and pricing models updated annually rather than in real-time. The result is adverse selection, missed opportunities, and an inability to price emerging risks accurately.

Business Cost Commercial lines underwriting decisions taking 5-15 days for risks that InsurTech competitors price in minutes.

Poor Customer Digital Experience

Insurance customers increasingly expect the same digital experience they receive from retail banks and e-commerce — instant quotes, self-service policy management, fast digital claims, and personalised communications. Most incumbent insurers deliver none of these consistently.

Business Cost Customer acquisition cost 40-60% higher when digital channel underperforms. NPS scores 25-35 points below digital-first competitors.

Regulatory Compliance Complexity

Solvency II capital reporting, IFRS 17 insurance contract accounting, FCA Consumer Duty (UK), IRDAI digital guidelines (India), and GDPR create an expanding compliance burden — particularly for insurers entering new markets or launching new products that fall under multiple regulatory regimes simultaneously.

Business Cost Compliance programme costs representing 8-12% of operating expense for mid-market carriers.

Insurance Domain Expertise — Not Just Technology Delivery

We understand insurance — loss ratios, combined ratios, IBNR, treaty vs facultative reinsurance, and the difference between admitted and non-admitted business. Our consultants have worked inside insurance companies before advising them, which means we design solutions that fit the business model rather than generic technology that has to be retrofitted to insurance workflows.

Zero Regulatory Incidents Across All Insurance Engagements

Solvency II reporting, IFRS 17 implementation, FCA regulatory submissions — every compliance programme we have delivered has passed regulatory review without findings. We design compliance into the data architecture from the start, which means regulators see well-governed, auditable systems rather than manual workarounds applied to systems that were never designed for compliance.

Core System Implementations Delivered On Time and On Budget

Core insurance system implementations — Guidewire, Duck Creek, and custom PAS projects — fail more often than they succeed. We have a 100% on-time, on-budget delivery record on insurance core system engagements because we fix scope, test continuously, and never use an insurance transformation as an opportunity to learn a platform we have not delivered before.

Client Testimonials

What Insurance Clients Say

Feedback from CIOs, Claims Directors, and Chief Actuaries at P&C carriers, life insurers, and MGA businesses.

P&C Insurer — Claims Transformation
★★★★★

Our claims operation was handling 4,200 claims per month with 87 FTEs. Every claim touched at least six people and took an average of 22 days to settle. Rackwave implemented digital FNOL, intelligent triage, straight-through processing for 60% of claims, and automated reserve recommendations. Twelve months later, we handle the same volume with 61 FTEs, average settlement time is 9 days, and customer NPS on claims experience improved from 18 to 52. The cost per claim reduction funded the entire programme in seven months. More importantly, our claims handlers now spend their time on complex cases that genuinely need human judgment — which is why they joined the insurance industry.

MGA — Underwriting
★★★★★

Rackwave built our underwriting workbench and rating engine integration in 14 weeks. We went from underwriting 40 commercial SME cases per underwriter per day to 120 — with better quality decisions, not worse, because the data enrichment surfaces risk factors the underwriter would previously have missed.

Life Insurer — IFRS 17
★★★★★

Our IFRS 17 transition had three different system vendors each claiming to own the problem. Rackwave took the integration challenge — connecting our actuarial system, general ledger, and new IFRS 17 calculation engine — and automated the period-end process that previously took 14 days of manual effort. First close under IFRS 17 took 6 days. We are now consistently under 5.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about insurance technology services with Rackwave Technologies.

  • Can you implement Guidewire PolicyCenter or ClaimCenter?

    Yes. We have Guidewire delivery experience across PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, and BillingCenter on both on-premise and Guidewire Cloud deployments. Our engagements typically cover configuration and customisation of the Guidewire product model (product designer, coverage patterns, rating), integration with distribution platforms and broker portals, data migration from legacy PAS systems, and App Lifecycle Management (ALM) for ongoing configuration changes. We also work on Guidewire performance issues, upgrade programmes, and the integration layer that connects Guidewire to surrounding systems. We do not do greenfield Guidewire implementations as a first project on a platform we have not previously delivered — which is why our Guidewire delivery record is clean.

  • What is straight-through processing (STP) in insurance claims and how do you implement it?

    Straight-through processing means a claim is automatically assessed, validated, and settled without human intervention. STP is appropriate for a subset of claims — typically simple, low-value, high-frequency claims where the facts are clear (e.g., minor property claims, standard vehicle glass claims, certain health insurance claims). The implementation involves: a rules engine that classifies inbound claims against STP eligibility criteria, data enrichment and validation steps (fraud scoring, policy verification, coverage check), automated reserve setting within defined limits, payment instruction generation, and policyholder notification. Most carriers can achieve 40-70% STP rates for appropriate claim types. We design the classification model and rules based on your historical claims data before building the automation.

  • How do you detect insurance fraud?

    We implement ML-based fraud detection rather than rule-based systems. The distinction matters: rule-based systems are easy for fraudsters to game once the rules are known, generate high false positive rates on innocent customers, and cannot detect novel fraud patterns. ML-based detection trains models on your historical claims data — identifying the features and combinations of features that characterise fraudulent claims — and scores new claims in real time. The score is used to route claims to automated settlement, standard adjustment, or SIU referral. We also implement application fraud detection for new business, catching misrepresentation at quote and bind stage rather than at claims. Our typical implementation achieves 85%+ fraud detection rates with false positive rates below 5%, compared to 40-50% detection and 15-25% false positives for rule-based systems.

  • Can you help with Solvency II or IFRS 17 reporting?

    Yes. For Solvency II, we typically work on the data infrastructure that feeds SCR/MCR calculation systems and generates Quantitative Reporting Templates (QRTs) for Pillar 3 submission. We build the data pipeline from source systems (policy, claims, investments) through the calculation layer to automated QRT generation and National Competent Authority submission. For IFRS 17, we work on the integration between actuarial calculation systems, general ledgers, and IFRS 17 engines — typically automating the period-end process that converts actuarial outputs into IFRS 17 journal entries and disclosures. Both programmes require deep understanding of the business data and calculation logic, not just the technology — which is why we work with your actuarial and finance teams throughout.

  • Do you work with InsurTech startups as well as established carriers?

    Yes. InsurTech and established carrier engagements require different approaches. For InsurTech companies, we typically work on platform architecture design (API-first, cloud-native, microservices), regulatory sandbox navigation, core system selection (build vs buy vs configure), and the data and analytics infrastructure needed to prove risk models to reinsurance partners. For established carriers, we more commonly work on modernisation — legacy system integration, digital channel build, claims automation, and analytics. The insurance domain expertise and the technology delivery standards are the same; the starting point and the pace are different.

  • How do you approach data migration from legacy insurance systems?

    Insurance data migrations — from legacy PAS to Guidewire, from old claims systems to modern platforms — are among the riskiest technology changes in financial services. Policy and claims data goes back decades, contains complex relationships, and must be accurate for regulatory, legal, and operational reasons. Our approach: complete data audit before migration begins (what exists, what is needed, what the quality problems are), data cleansing and transformation specification written and approved before any migration code is written, parallel running period where source and target systems both process data (reconciliation reports daily), and a cut-over plan with a tested rollback procedure before any production migration happens. We have completed migrations for insurers ranging from 50,000 to 8 million policies in force.
