Why the insurance industry is increasingly banking on IT nearshoring<\/b> <\/h2>\n

Digitization of customer paths, automation of underwriting flows, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, redesign of broker extranets… 
The insurance industry, and brokerage in particular, is undergoing rapid change. This transformation relies heavily on the ability to deliver reliable, secure and scalable IT projects<\/b>. <\/p>\n

However, the reality on the ground is more complex. Many brokers, mutual insurers and business solution providers are struggling to meet deadlines or stabilize their platforms.  
Why? Because the IT development is becoming a strategic bottleneck<\/b>and the resources available are no longer aligned with ambitions. <\/p>\n

A sector under pressure: the 5 major obstacles encountered by brokers<\/b> <\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. A chronic shortage of technical profiles.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Recruiting an experienced developer in back or full-stack technologies takes several months, and the best profiles are already captive. In-house teams have to compensate, at the cost of chronic overload.  <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dependence on inflexible IT partners.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Some traditional service providers (ESN or software publishers) impose heavy, unresponsive or costly models that are ill-suited to the agile structures of the brokerage sector. <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Increasing compliance challenges.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        RGPD, DDA, Solvency II… every IT project in the insurance industry needs to integrate these constraints from the outset. This slows down development and requires highly specialized skills.  <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Increasingly demanding user expectations.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Brokers want intuitive portals, policyholders demand smooth processes, and partners expect stable interfaces. CIOs have to juggle priorities.  <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. A budget that doesn’t always follow.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Resources are limited. Bringing a senior IT team in-house is costly; outsourcing without losing quality or control is a headache.  <\/p>\n

            What successful players do: two case studies from the insurance industry<\/b> <\/h3>\n

            Two companies in the sector have recently opted for an alternative path: to rely on outsourced technical resources, while retaining control over project management, quality and compliance. Here’s what they have to say on the subject. how to overcome these obstacles without altering the company’s methods or diluting its corporate culture<\/b>. <\/p>\n

            Case n\u00b01 – Cleva: industrializing development without compromising quality <\/strong><\/h2>\n

            Background<\/b> : 
            Cleva is a software publisher specializing in management solutions for the insurance industry. For over 25 years, the company has been supporting insurers, mutual insurers and brokers with a modular software suite, integrating contract, claims and underwriting management.  <\/p>\n

             The problem<\/b> : 
            With an ambitious roadmap, numerous parallel customer projects and increasing pressure on deadlines, Cleva needed to rapidly increase its development capacity<\/b>. But without diluting software quality or lengthening training cycles. <\/p>\n

             The solution<\/b> : 
            Cleva has set up nearshore teams<\/b> to complete its internal agile squads. These teams are integrated into the project rituals (daily, sprint planning, QA) and quickly gain expertise in the insurance business.  <\/p>\n

             The results obtained<\/b> : <\/p>\n
