This report identifies eight attributes of a cloud deployment of a core system (policy admin, rating, billing, claims) used by property/casualty and general insurers.
- Updates and Upgrades Using Cloud Capabilities
- Highly Elastic
- Robust APIs
- Extensive Microservices
- Can Run in Containers

The report discusses the attributes’ advantages, disadvantages, and value propositions for four groups:

Lastly, the report provides an evaluation grid that can be used by the two insurer groups and by the two vendor groups as they assess the value provided by each cloud deployment attribute.
