Cloud Transformation in Insurance: Overcoming Legacy Barriers to Deliver Next-Gen Customer Experiences

The insurance industry stands at a pivotal crossroads. As digital disruptors reshape the competitive landscape and customer expectations soar, insurers face mounting pressure to modernize legacy systems, deliver hyper-personalized experiences, and drive operational efficiency. Yet, these ambitions are complicated by industry-specific challenges—deeply entrenched legacy infrastructure, stringent regulatory requirements, and the ever-present need for advanced fraud detection. Publicis Sapient, in partnership with AWS, is helping insurers meet these challenges head-on, transforming their businesses through data-driven strategies, advanced cloud capabilities, and AI-powered innovation.

Unlike other sectors, insurance is defined by its complexity: legacy systems that are difficult to replace, regulatory demands that evolve constantly, and a heightened need for fraud prevention. At the same time, policyholders expect seamless digital experiences, rapid claims processing, and personalized engagement across every touchpoint. Incremental change is no longer enough. Insurers must embrace a holistic, data-first approach to transformation—one that reimagines how value is delivered to both customers and the business.
