Group life insurers are increasingly looking to modernize their core platforms to address limitations of their legacy core systems and drive transformation to future-proof their IT estates. They are looking for cloud-ready platforms to enable extensive API integrations and support rapid product configurations with out-of-the-box functionalities.

Technology providers are responding by developing deep expertise across various product types and demand themes. They are making significant investments to expand their talent pools, build configurable solutions to address key concerns around on-budget and on-time implementations, and help insurers to become digitally enabled.

In this research, we assess 15 technology providers featured on the Group Life Policy Administration Systems (PAS) PEAK Matrix® focused on North America. Each provider profile provides a comprehensive picture of its strengths and limitations.
