Ten years' worth of contract and accounting data from two legacy systems (one bespoke, one unsupported) was merged and migrated into a modern application framework, with links to a new reporting and GL system. Data quality issues were resolved via extensive work in partnership with the client to ensure consistency. A key deliverable was to identify issues with previously-booked financial movements, identify the root cause and implement solutions at the appropriate level to avoid unnecessary restatement of account for closed years.

This was a single-phase project where underwriting, claims and accounting data was successfully migrated from their legacy application into a their new back-office platform.

JE successfully consolidated data from over 20 syndicates and seven legacy systems (with data and technology going back to the 1980s), migrating to one system to manage all data under a single claims, accounting and reporting system. Data quality – in particular ensuring the data was sufficient for incoming London Market message processing, reporting requirements and recovery calculations – was a key focus and required a close partnership, especially when moving incomplete data from unsupported and undocumented systems.

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.
