FirstBest Hosts Insurance Webinar: Legacy Replacement Strategies: Embrace or Replace?

Powerful Underwriting Results Achievable Without Requiring Full Legacy Replacement

BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstBest® Systems, Inc., provider of insurance software solutions for global insurance carriers, today announced a complimentary webinar for insurers who are contemplating legacy replacement.  Legacy replacement is top of mind for many carriers today as they try to increase agility, better serve agents, improve the underwriting process, and lower total cost of ownership.  And in many cases, it makes sense to replace legacy systems. But it's not always necessary to take the expense, time and risk that a legacy replacement entails.

WHO: Presented by Steve Robins, Senior Director FirstBest Systems.

WHAT: While most insurers eventually need to implement new core systems, many benefit from enhancing the user experience in front of the legacy system by implementing and gaining powerful new capabilities without full replacement. 

The live event will cover how:

  • To determine when legacy replacement makes sense – and when it doesn't
  • To gain powerful new capabilities without full replacement
  • Insurance carriers can make a more immediate impact to the business 
  • To gain rich underwriting and agent-facing capabilities while leveraging legacy systems

WHEN:  Thursday, November 15, 2012, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern

WHERE:  Insurers, press and analysts are encouraged to register today for the complimentary event.
