PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HP (NYSE:HPQ) today announced enhancements to its life, health and annuity policy administration systems, enabling insurance providers to improve agility, mitigate risk and accelerate delivery of new products.
The insurance industry continues to evolve and expand as a result of dynamic customer and regulatory demands. Rigid legacy infrastructures can hamper an enterprise’s ability to keep pace with these demands, and to deliver always-on service to customers, partners and employees.
HP has enhanced the RADIENCE Administration and INGENIUM systems to support the critical role agility plays in today’s Instant-On Enterprise. In an age of “instant” expectations, businesses and governments need to have the ability to respond quickly and effectively to changing business and citizen needs.
