Data Management and Migration

With data at the heart of our business, effective management solutions are a crucial element to any operational success. Here at JE, we provide a variety of services that not only help improve your data management for overcoming your current challenges but also prepare you for future obstacles and unexpected changes.

Data migration is a complex process that must be performed with the highest integrity, precision, and attention to detail. Utilising proven tools developed in-house, JE provides exceptional end-to-end migration services using a fully developed methodology supplying reliable and robust results for any given source and target system. The approach utilises a series of mass load data cycles that increase in accuracy and complexity with each iteration.

Our tools and methodical approach are fully configurable and can be specifically tailored to suit all business needs and requirements. Various projects have benefited our extensive migration experience and expertise including sources such as legacy systems, document management systems and excel spreadsheets.

London Market Syndicate

For a London Market syndicate, JE consolidated data from more than 20 syndicates and seven legacy systems, some of which contained technology and records dating back to the 1980s. All information was migrated into a single platform capable of managing claims, accounting, and reporting under one integrated framework. This large-scale migration created a unified and modern environment, replacing multiple fragmented processes with a centralised system designed for efficiency and consistency.

Data quality was a central priority, particularly to ensure compatibility with incoming London Market message processing, compliance with reporting obligations, and accuracy in recovery calculations. This required extensive collaboration with the client to address incomplete or inconsistent information originating from unsupported and undocumented systems. Through systematic analysis, data mapping, and targeted remediation, the migrated dataset achieved the level of integrity needed to support business operations and regulatory requirements.

Multinational Reinsurer

Over a ten-year period, two legacy systems, one bespoke and one unsupported, were used to manage contract and accounting data. As part of a systems transformation programme, data from both platforms was consolidated, cleansed, and migrated into a modern application framework integrated with a new reporting platform and general ledger system. This work improved transparency, auditability, and the overall reliability of financial information.

Significant data quality issues were addressed through detailed analysis and close collaboration with the client’s finance, operations, and IT teams. Historical anomalies in financial movements were investigated, root causes identified, and targeted solutions implemented at the correct process or system level. This approach resolved problems without restating closed financial years, safeguarding compliance and ensuring a stable foundation for future reporting and decision-making.

Bermudian Reinsurer

Successfully executed a single-phase migration of underwriting, claims, and accounting datasets from the company’s legacy application into a modern back-office platform. The project encompassed:

Data Mapping & Cleansing: Conducted thorough analysis to align legacy data structures with the new system’s schema, resolving inconsistencies and ensuring data integrity.

Migration Execution: Transferred all historical and active records in one coordinated phase, minimizing operational downtime.

Validation & Reconciliation: Implemented robust post-migration checks to verify completeness and accuracy of underwriting, claims, and financial data.

Business Continuity: Enabled seamless transition for underwriting, claims processing, and accounting teams, with no disruption to ongoing operations.

This upgrade positioned the reinsurer to leverage improved reporting capabilities, streamlined workflows, and enhanced compliance tracking on their new back-office platform.

Data Reconciliation and Management

Effective reconciliation of data is a crucial aspect of any data management activity, be it proving the success of a data migration, user-testing support or identifying discrepancies within current integrated systems. Our Reconciliation Tool can be configured and connected to any source and target system resulting in an extensive report detailing mismatches at anything from business unit level down to a field-by-field basis. Numerous clients have overcome data challenges and improved data quality and accuracy with the assistance of our reconciliation expertise.

Our Expertise Includes

Expectations for integration and collaboration between systems is now just as important as any other business interaction. At Jean Edwards, we understand the significance of effective system integration and have a full team of developers at hand to ensure this is completed in the most professional and efficient way possible.

Our team has encountered and successfully exchanged data with systems ranging from DB/2 to big data in the cloud, and from three decades old, unsupported, undocumented legacy systems to AI and beyond, and is, therefore, fully equipped to support all technical architecture.

This project involved creating a full one-way integration from the custom-made underwriting platform to the main reinsurance application.

This was a single-phase project where a new application was developed in order to ensure data flow from core reinsurance application into the General Ledger systems.

Jean Edwards successfully took on the challenge of bringing together data from seven various legacy systems (with data going back to the 1980s) and migrating it all into one within 14 months.

Data is central to all business interactions and process management in all industries, however, the quality and suitability for such data is not always so easily identifiable. By incorporating an expert combination of business analysis skills and technical resources, Jean Edwards provides exceptional data auditing and validation services, providing full end-to-end analysis and recommendations upon completion. All our services can be specifically customised for any business needs and requirements.
