BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AXIS Insurance, the insurance business segment of AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (NYSE: AXS), will receive an Impact Award from the Novarica Insurance Technology Research Council, a peer community of hundreds of insurer CIOs for its enterprise transformation project. More than 50 members reviewed dozens of case studies to select the winners for the 7th annual awards.
AXIS Insurance launched a multi-year enterprise transformation program including technology re-platforming and product/process redesign. The program has supported growth 40% above plan, financial returns 250% of initial estimates, and a 75% improvement in quote times in some lines.
“Throughout our enterprise transformation program, the goal for our IT team has been to provide AXIS Insurance with an insurance platform that was highly configurable and flexible to meet the needs of the business,” said Darryl Catts, CIO, AXIS Insurance. “The Duck Creek platform has handled these requirements at all levels of the implementation, thus enabling us to better align product, organizational process and technology.”
“AXIS’ initiative was recognized by our Council members as an example of a successful multi-year core transformation program that delivered solid business results,” said Matthew Josefowicz, President/CEO of Novarica and moderator of the Council.
AXIS’ case study, along with case studies of seven other winners, and more than 20 additional cases considered for Impact Awards, was published today in Novarica’s 7th Annual Best Practices Case Study Compendium, online at https://novarica.com/compendium2018/. Novarica has published more than 200 case studies through this program since 2012.
