Revolutionizing Insurance IT Part 2: Modernization Myth-busting

Insurance carriers seeking to modernize their IT infrastructure are uniquely challenged by a tangled web of legacy systems, client-server apps, and new cloud platforms. In the pursuit of seamless, secure data access, a full “rip and replace” can seem like the right option.
