Rescue: How Life Insurance Companies Can Escape the Legacy Software Jungle
According to LIMRA, it takes an average 42 weeks to tailor and test our legacy software for most new products. (That's nuts!) But you don't have to put up with that nonsense any longer. Shrink those 42 weeks down to a mere week or two. Learn how to turn those time consuming, resource hogging, product launches into a walk in the park, forever.
End the frustration of shoehorning more products into your legacy policy administration system. Stop limiting new product features just because your software doesn't support them. Now you can implement any product into your legacy software (even if your system doesn't support its features) in record time (and with zero changes to policy value programs).
There is a refreshing new way of thinking about policy values and your legacy software. We are all used to the nightmare of diving into those old legacy system value calculation programs (and the need to find, train, and keep qualified experts in that software). Those programs have had layer after layer of changes over the years and take weeks to analyze, modify, and test (not to mention the need to regression test the whole darn system when we are done, just to make sure we haven't screwed up some other product that used to work).
Now, you can toss those headaches into the dustbin of history. Just as client-server and relational database changed our way of thinking about how to manage information, this exciting new architecture will break the chains that bind us to those old resource-sucking programs.
Now you can say "Yes" to any new product (without even giving a thought to how it will be supported). Using standard low risk tools and techniques you probably already use and depend on every day, you can now build a plug-n-play replacement for all of those complex programs. Rescue explains the whole concept - and how this revolutionary idea makes your life so much easier. Heck, you might even learn to love your legacy system. Now you will have the time to focus on bringing your technology current. All of those critical items on your to do list (the ones that keep being delayed because new products are always priority one) can now be completed. The countless man weeks you were sinking into legacy system maintenance are now available for other pressing needs.
So, read Rescue. It is intentionally kept short so you can quickly get the idea and act upon it. Discover how (faster than you ever dreamed possible) you can capture these head-shaking
