Usability, Accessibility, and Configurability in a SaaS-Based Portal Package

Insurance companies that resist change and remain dependent on their old Policy Administration Systems are missing out the incredible benefits offered by the SaaS-based PAS. These amazing advantages include enhanced usability, accessibility, and configurability. These aspects are addressed in this article. We will also list the benefits of a PAS that can help an insurer increase its competitive edge. These advantages are not available to all PAS systems. In fact, some PAS systems can’t replace legacy systems. This wastes time and resources and sets insurers back. An insurer should be knowledgeable about the capabilities and benefits of a PAS system and how to adopt it.
Insurance companies that remain loyal to their old Policy Administration Systems don’t realize the impact this has on their market competitiveness. It slows down their services and limits their ability to bring new products to market.
