The carrier's core PAS software was over fifteen years old and lacked modern API capabilities. Adding new product fields or creating an online agent quote portal directly within the legacy PAS would require over a year of custom mainframe programming, stalling the new product launch.
Modernizing Legacy Policy Administration System Integration for a Specialty Carrier
A specialty lines insurer needed to launch a new digital cyber liability product without replacing its core legacy Policy Administration System (PAS).
Challenge
Solution
FlipWorks built a decoupled cloud-based policy issuance layer and agent portal connected to the legacy PAS via secure database staging adapters. The lightweight front-end handles quote generation, underwriting rules, and policy document generation, syncing final bound policy records back to the core PAS in nightly automated batches.
Result
- Launched the new digital cyber liability product in four months without modifying core legacy PAS code.
- Delivered a modern, responsive web portal for independent agents to quote and bind policies online.
- Maintained total financial record synchronization with legacy core policy ledgers.
