Insurance
Today’s insurance companies must balance profitable growth against the burden of legacy IT. In response, many insurers are taking a two-pronged approach to drive innovation: they’re transforming their data centers by moving applications to AWS and retiring technical debt, thus freeing IT budgets for transformation and growth; and, they’re making cloud services available to small teams of architects and developers, enabling them to more quickly deliver innovative solutions to the business. Using AWS services, insurers can more quickly launch new digital customer experiences; modernize or put in place more agile core systems; leverage data to take new approaches to identifying risk, and deliver personalized insurance products; and nimbly respond to regulatory changes.

Grid Computing
Insurers are moving to AWS cloud-based grids to empower their teams with on-demand high performance computing (HPC). By running HPC grids on AWS, firms lower grid costs, gain access to the latest CPU and GPU chipsets, and speed modeling run times. This greatly enhances their risk insights and speeds their ability to more accurately respond to regulatory regimes, such as Solvency II, or model new perils and risks.

Data and Analytics
AWS offers more data services than any other cloud provider, making it easier for insurers to aggregate and centralize data, maintain data lineage, and store any type of data at scale. Insurers can capture more relevant customer information, enhance the underwriting and risk selection processes, simplify claims, and enrich the customer experience. With AWS, the reduced complexity of data movement infrastructure helps streamline internal operations while also reducing the costs.
