From Legacy to Platform: Navigating the New Modernization Playbook for L/A/B Carriers

The insurance technology landscape is experiencing a fundamental shift as solution providers move beyond traditional policy administration systems to offer comprehensive platforms spanning the entire insurance ecosystem. For life & annuity carriers facing aging legacy environments and an increasingly competitive market, evaluating PAS in isolation is no longer a viable strategy.

Join Datos Insights Senior Principals Paul Mattern and Laurel Jordan alongside DXC Technology Life & Annuity Product Leader Alessandra Cox as they present findings from the Datos Insights Market Navigator: Life/Annuity/Benefits Platform Solution Providers 2025 report. Drawing on carrier research, executive interviews, and vendor evaluations, this session explores what the platform shift means for carrier technology strategy and how to position your organization for a more effective transformation.

Topics of discussion include:

  • Why the industry is moving beyond traditional PAS toward comprehensive platform strategies
  • The five forces reshaping how carriers approach technology partnerships and operational planning
  • How to think about incremental modernization vs. full replacement in multi-PAS environments
  • Balancing consolidation benefits with vendor lock-in and total cost of ownership risks
  • Connecting platform decisions to enterprise modernization strategy and block analysis

This session is designed to help carrier leaders think more strategically about the decisions ahead. Whether you’re early in your modernization planning or actively evaluating solutions, this conversation will offer perspective you can put to work.
