Report Published by Celent

Celent profiles a majority of the life and pension insurance administration systems available in Asia today.

Interest in policy administration offerings for insurance has surged in recent years. In a new report, Asian Policy Administration Systems 2009: Life and Pension ABCD Vendor View, Celent looks at policy administration systems available to life insurers in Asia. The report is part of a series on policy administration systems in Europe, the United States, and Asia.

"The Asian IT vendor landscape has become increasingly difficult to navigate,” says Wenli Yuan, senior analyst with Celent’s Insurance Group and author of the report. "Prioritizing decision elements is a crucial task in order to minimize the risk of choosing an inappropriate PAS and avoid facing time-consuming and expensive customization efforts."
