For years, carriers have been sold the all-in-one “core system” as the path to agility. But out-of-the-box readiness creates a rigid functional box: it limits innovation, forces compromises on unique business workflows, and locks you into vendor dependency.
Join Datos Insights Senior Principal Tim Baum as he sits down with Penn National Insurance CIO Mike Watts, AIPSO CTO Adam LaFlamme, AXIS Capital SVP Kristen Hunter, and Jarus Co-founder Bala Kumar to unpack the strategy of the “Flex PAS.”
This session explores how to break free from vendor lock-in and reclaim full ownership of your insurance architecture by unbundling policy, claims, and billing into agile, independent components. Instead of forcing your business to fit inside a predetermined software box, a mesh architecture lets you connect capabilities that actually work for your business, keeping your competitive advantages fluid and completely under your control.
What you’ll learn:
- Dethroning the Monolith: Why traditional all-in-one suites may fall short and how to identify when you have outgrown the constraints of a single platform
- The Anatomy of Flex PAS: How to decouple policy, claims, and billing into modular, right-sized components without sacrificing enterprise continuity
- Concept to Production: Practical lessons from carriers moving beyond vendor limitations to build architectures that adapt to their business, not the reverse
The era of the heavy, all-in-one “core system” is giving way to something far more dynamic. Discover how forward-thinking carriers are moving beyond traditional core limitations, building expansive, interconnected ecosystems that deliver unmatched flexibility and speed to market.
