Insurance Systems Consulting Services

Align360 works closely with many diverse property and casualty insurers and life insurance companies. We assist them in defining technology strategies, implementing solutions, and increasing efficiency within their business processes.

Our professionals are accomplished managers of large-scale information technology projects. We understand that the success of a project is predicated not only on an understanding of the technology and business requirements, but also by a structured approach to task planning, and to scope and vendor management. We use a proactive project management approach by working closely with key client and vendor personnel to establish an agreed upon methodology for communicating requirements, tracking progress, resolving issues and obtaining appropriate approvals. Although we understand the value of widespread participation, we have found that projects often flounder when accountability in the aforementioned areas is not clearly vested with an individual. Prescient risk avoidance and proactive alternative evaluations will help ensure an on time and within budget system implementation.
