Reducing overhead frees capital for business investments.As a carrier, growth is critical to survival. You need to enter new markets, launch new products and have cash available to invest in your business. Supporting constantly-changing business requirements, while reducing operational costs and managing existing IT platforms to enable new product and operational capabilities, can pose a significant challenge.

Legacy systems can hinder business growth and increase risks. Greater regulatory burdens often divert resources away from growth initiatives, and new competitors set a high bar for experiences that attract and retain customers. How do you offer innovative products, market them quickly, and provide a superior customer experience while managing your core business and maintaining costs?

Being future ready drives growth.

SUPPORT GROWTH NOT LEGACY SYSTEMS

If you’re like many life and annuity insurers, you struggle to manage a growing portfolio of legacy core applications, segmented by business line and tied together by a complex network of system interfaces running on multiple platforms.

Outdated systems contribute to high infrastructure, operations, support and maintenance costs. Instead of investing in growth opportunities, you’re forced to spend money on system maintenance, and moving to a more efficient, integrated system can require a large, up-front investment.

The Cognizant LifeAdmin Core™ platform allows you to focus on your business, accelerate growth and reduce operational costs without a big capital investment.

Our business process as a service (BPaaS) solution leverages a best-in-class platform and business process services in a Cognizant cloud-based infrastructure to help you achieve your strategic business objectives.

Cognizant LifeAdmin Core supports business growth by reducing total cost of ownership and creating standardized, efficient and optimized processes.

Transferring end-to-end business processing services to LifeAdmin Core frees up time for internal resources to focus on growth initiatives. Predictive analytics enable you to improve churn prediction, customer/agent segmentation and profitability. In addition, LifeAdmin Core’s superior analytics and customer communication tools enable your agents to cross-sell and up-sell more efficiently and effectively.

LIFEADMIN CORE LETS YOU PAY-AS-YOU-GO

As a BPaaS solution, LifeAdmin Core offers variable pricing based on the number of policies administered. Cognizant manages the hardware and software, and you pay only for what you use, which can significantly benefit your cash flow and operating budget.

Cognizant LifeAdmin Core is available under multiple commercial options, allowing your business to convert fixed costs into variable expenses, including payment on a per-policy basis, with service-level agreements based on outcomes. By leveraging an end-to-end business process solution, you can adopt a predictive pricing model without compromising quality.

REDUCE OVERHEAD AND SIMPLIFY OPERATIONS

We manage the full range of business processes, including new business underwriting, policy administration, claims and billing for simple and complex financial products. This reduces costs and optimizes processes, aligning your business and operating models.

LifeAdmin Core provides the foundation to increase operational efficiency through automated work flows, increased customer self- service and implementation of digital assets. Our system is flexible, making maintenance, upgrades and integration simple.

Cognizant LifeAdmin Core lets you provide real-time policy servicing for customers and sales channels throughout the policy lifecycle, increasing retention and loyalty. It also helps reduce risk and improve compliance while optimizing performance.

Best of all, Cognizant keeps the software, technology, and business processes up-to-date, so you don’t have to—including those for regulatory and compliance.

ACCELERATE TIME TO MARKET

LifeAdmin Core’s pre-built product templates reduce time to market as much as 3X over traditional platforms, allowing you to develop and launch new products and riders, a critical requirement for future competitiveness.

In addition, integrated data intake and analytics capabilities enable you to accelerate your efforts to launch a successful direct-to-consumer distribution channel.

RICH CUSTOMER DATA HELPS BOOST EXPERIENCE

Because Cognizant LifeAdmin Core provides advanced integration capabilities, it helps enable a 360-degree view of customers.

LifeAdmin Core turns data into an asset. You can track service delivery across all interactions, understand the lifetime value of key business segments, review the product and related pricing of those segments, and access other key distribution, underwriting, and claims analytics.

You also have access to Cognizant’s rich offering of social, mobile, analytics and cloud tools to help modernize your customer engagement and customer experience capabilities.

THE COGNIZANT DIFFERENCE

Making the transition to a BPaaS solution is a serious undertaking, but Cognizant has the scale and capabilities needed to deliver consistently and cost-effectively. Our LifeAdmin Core policy conversion framework reduces costs and minimizes conversion risks by leveraging out-of-the-box products.

Cognizant is a recognized market leader in BPaaS conversions, with more than three million policies converted over the past seven years. We offer a faster, cheaper and better alternative—typically completing the first system conversion in less than 12 months and subsequent conversions in eight to nine months.
