A Million Lifecycles Behind Us – Why Complex Data Is a Reason to Choose Evitec Solutions
An insurance company’s greatest fear isn’t a new system – it’s the old data. Especially when that data is an “eternal project” layered through decades and multiple migrations. We have a message for you: we’ve seen this before – and tamed it over a million times.
Replacing an insurance system can be, at best, risk management – and at worst, a business risk. When dealing with a complex policy portfolio where history is fragmented across products from different eras, the traditional “move bits from A to B” approach is a guaranteed path to disaster.
Evitec doesn’t just do data migration. We deliver a controlled business transition, refined through dozens of projects and over a million successfully converted insurance policies.
The All-Purpose Tool of Migration
Our clients’ portfolios often resemble an archaeological dig. Our answer to this challenge is the productised Evitec Solutions Life Migration Process – an industrial conversion environment designed for the complexities of the insurance industry.
| Feature | Traditional ETL Model | Evitec Conversion Model | Why is Evitec better? |
| Data Mapping | Mechanical mapping between database structures. | ES Life Data Mapper + ready-made rule library. | Data is corrected and harmonised at the start of the process. |
| Staging Management | Passive or absent (direct transfer). | ES Life CEI interface + Intermediate DB. | Hides technical details during mapping. Enables reconciliation and precision fixes before loading. |
| Validation | Occurs only at the end of loading in the database. | ES Life Data Pre-validator. | Errors are found in seconds at the start of the process. Iteration is fast without dependency on the target system. |
| Error Correction | A failed run often requires reprocessing the entire batch. | Controlled precision fixes in the intermediate database. | Only erroneous rows are “surgically” corrected, enabling controlled fixes during production conversion. |
| Loading Method | SQL load: Data “appears” in the database without history. | ES Life Conversion Engine and API-based loading. | History and audit trail are preserved, as if the data had always lived in the system. |
| Testing | Technical (did the bit transfer correctly?). | Lifecycle testing (does the business work?). | Ensures actuarial accuracy and logical policy behaviour for decades ahead. |
Data with a Past and a Responsibility
In many migrations, data is pushed into the new system’s database through a “back door”, severing the connection to the past. We operate differently. We utilise the system’s own technical services (API), ensuring that every transferred policy receives complete history management.
We don’t just move bits – we preserve the chain of responsibility. This guarantees that the audit trail is unbroken and audit-ready from day one.
Lifecycle Testing: The Actuarial Trial by Fire
Simply transferring data isn’t enough. An insurance company needs to know that a policy will function correctly even 20 years from now.
We don’t just check balances – we “age” the policies through their entire future: payments, changes, index increases, and maturities. It’s an actuarial guarantee that your business will continue uninterrupted after go-live – not just on the first day, but for decades to come.
The Last Migration You’ll Ever Need
With a million converted policies behind us, we’ve seen almost everything. We’ve developed methods, such as precision fixing, that eliminate the end-of-project panic. This makes migration a controlled industrial process, not a guessing game.
Summary for Decision-Makers
A complex policy portfolio isn’t an obstacle to system modernisation – it’s a reason to choose a partner with proven experience in managing it. We bring:
- Experience from a million policies and ready-made business-level rule libraries.
