Insurance Transformation in 2026: Beyond the Legacy Bottleneck
The global insurance landscape is at a critical inflection point where profitability is increasingly under siege from climate volatility and restricted capacity. As legacy systems continue to paralyze innovation with technical debt, the gap between customer expectations for instant gratification and traditional 30-day approval cycles has become a major liability.
In this strategic guide, we explore the "Detect & Pay" model. We discuss how the next generation of industry leaders is utilizing Decision Rules Management to decouple business logic from outdated code, enabling them to adapt to market dynamics in hours rather than months.
