Carriers and MGAs turn to cloud tools to cut IT load and scale claims

The shift is aimed at reducing time spent on server upkeep and enabling easier scaling of underwriting and claims as volumes and growth initiatives change.

Cloud-hosted insurance platforms are increasingly being adopted by carriers and managing general agents, with a focus on reducing IT overhead while improving security and business continuity, according to Coverager.

The outlet says the operational benefits include less time spent maintaining infrastructure, and more focus on serving agents, policyholders, and partners, as underwriting workloads evolve, claims rise, and growth efforts accelerate.

Coverager also highlights that modern managed environments can take more technology management work off internal teams, helping organizations adapt to changing claims volumes and underwriting demand without extensive infrastructure planning.

The piece adds that built-in redundancy, backup, and recovery features are designed to minimize disruptions and support access to critical information, while also enabling more consistent experiences across teams and locations.
