Presentation
Benefits of having an architecture framework when implementing life assurance systems
Simply replacing one administration system with another does not add value to a business.  SDT is in the process of developing an architecture framework for the insurance industry to be used for system development and implementation.  We need to develop an alternative approach for the insurance sector, one which removes the duplications, bottlenecks and redundancies first. The level of standardisation and integration should be determined in line with the client’s business strategy.  All processes should first be aligned with this framework and the system, and then implemented.  This approach will yield the greatest long-term benefits.
