Enterprise Insurance Platform Modernization
Transforming legacy systems into AI-powered platforms
Project Overview
New York Life Insurance, one of the largest mutual life insurance companies in the United States, faced significant challenges with their legacy claim processing system. The 20-year-old system was slowing down operations, increasing costs, and creating frustration for both employees and policyholders. We partnered with them to modernize their entire insurance management platform, introducing AI-powered document processing and intelligent automation.
The Challenge: Legacy Systems Holding Back Growth
New York Life's existing claim processing system was built on outdated technology that couldn't keep pace with modern business demands. Manual document processing was creating bottlenecks, while lack of integration between systems led to data silos and inefficiencies.
Key Pain Points:
Manual processing of 10,000+ insurance claims per month taking an average of 14 days
Paper-based document management system prone to errors and loss
Disconnected legacy systems requiring manual data entry across multiple platforms
Limited visibility into claim status causing customer service issues
Compliance risks due to inconsistent documentation and audit trails
High operational costs with 60+ staff dedicated to manual claim processing
Inability to scale during peak periods without significant staff increases
Poor employee satisfaction due to repetitive manual tasks
The Solution: AI-Powered Platform Transformation
We designed and implemented a comprehensive modernization strategy that leveraged cutting-edge AI technology while ensuring zero disruption to ongoing operations. Our approach focused on intelligent automation, seamless integration, and user-centric design.
Our Approach:
Conducted thorough analysis of existing workflows and identified automation opportunities
Developed AI-powered document processing engine using computer vision and NLP
Built modern microservices architecture to replace monolithic legacy system
Implemented intelligent routing system to prioritize and categorize claims automatically
Created unified dashboard providing real-time visibility across all operations
Designed comprehensive API layer to integrate with existing enterprise systems
Established phased migration plan to minimize risk and ensure business continuity
Provided extensive training and change management support for 200+ employees
