From an insurance perspective, this methodology facilitates the decoupling of underwriting systems into business and capability domains that operate separately yet share data as part of an event-driven design and microservices architecture. Each application function should be owned by a team with domain-specific expertise and loosely connected to the others. APIs allow services to communicate, listen for, and consume one another's events.
Data and innovative technological paradigms
Organizations must abandon monolithic systems where data is segregated, and functionality is dispersed across multiple technologies for digital underwriting transformation programs to be successful. Many organizations have also realized that moving these monolithic programs to the cloud does not automatically bring them closer to their digital goals. Successfully transforming organizations utilize the architecture principles to upgrade their application stacks.
Cost-effective
A domain-based data modernization approach can also facilitate the progressive replacement of legacy systems. This enables the quick achievement of the organization's digital goals without needing a costly and time-consuming replacement of legacy systems. An event-driven architecture and API-enabled enables real-time data processing, a fundamental aspect of digital enablement. Effective underwriting procedures necessitate the coordination of different teams and capability domains to determine, among other things, whether to insure a new customer or create an adequate pricing and coverage model.
Decision assistance services
Once monolithic systems are broken into finer-grained domains and services and begin communicating via APIs and events, it is possible to concentrate on the most important component that ties them all together, the decision support domain. Its mission is to streamline and, whenever possible, automate underwriting and other decision-making processes that have historically required a great deal of administrative and manual labor to reduce operational expenses and free up key underwriting personnel to focus on the most important tasks.
