The Canadian P&C insurer is using the service to support a sophisticated, data-driven pricing model.

Worldwide, the IaaS market surged 29.5 percent in 2017.

Investments in cloud computing continue to grow at a strong pace, according to a new report from Forrester Research.

An on-premise deployment of a new core systems suite proved unable to handle data needs, so the carrier switch gears quickly.

More than 90 percent of organizations now have some percentage of their systems and applications invested in cloud computing, says CompTIA's Seth Robinson.

Moving applications from legacy systems to digital ones takes more than simply swapping underlying hardware or adopting cloud.

Relying on a cloud vendor to protect digital assets isn't enough. Firms need an enhanced strategy that involves all employees in the effort.

While carriers may not be able to replicate the exact science, they should understand that organizational and cultural shifts can both attract the right talent and encourage the emergence of internal ideas.

Half of the organizations surveyed said existing tools aren’t effective in the cloud and an overabundance of tools makes it almost impossible to prioritize IT and security investments.

Emerging or re-emerging hot technologies are helping to drive much of the increased spending on enterprise software, which is projected to rise by 11.1 percent in 2018.

Cloud for ancillary services has risen in insurance, and within the past few years the trend has expanded to include core as well with Tier-1 carriers migrating to the model.

The carrier piloted Snapsheet’s technology before launch, and found claims were settled up to 40% faster using the insurtech's software.

Top risks are often associated with the IoT, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and robotic process automation.

The firm is releasing new cloud technologies to fight disease and help health providers abide by privacy laws as the medical sector moves to internet-based computing.

A new study shows that the most common concerns are the risk of unauthorized access, the threat of malware infiltrations and the inability to monitor the activity of employees.

The technology has the potential to effect the industry's data usage, risk modeling practices and core systems, according to Novarica.
