About Insurance Data Processing (IDP)

Exclusively serving property and casualty (P & C) insurance
companies for 62 years

Deep insurance expertise and intellectual property

Why am I here today?

IDP developed an entirely and exclusively IBM Technology Stack
based Universal System Architecture (USA) to enable all of our
product/application development

Because our USA makes possible the rapid development and
deployment of state of the art, enterprise grade Web 2.0, SOA,
BPM and Rules based applications that also integrate with
existing and/or legacy assets

Because IDP was able to deliver to the market place 4 state of the art
products in 4 months

Because IDP is able to leverage its USA (without any modifications)
to expand its product offering to 9 products across multiple
channels (e.g. mobile) and countries

Because other companies and industries can also benefit from our
architecture and IBM technology experience as well expertise

Challenge 101

Which technology should IDP base (bet)
our business on?

Technology Selection Criteria….. was rigorous

 Does it support our going forward architecture?
 Are the development skills readily available in the market place?
 Is the development process visual and self documenting?
 Do adequate design and development stage tools exist?
 Is it Web 2.0, SOA, BPM and Rules based?
 Will it integrate with our legacy/existing assets (e.g. .NET, SQL Server, flat files, XML
messages, etc.)
 Will it scale to support 1000+ insurance carriers running on our SaaS platform
 Will it scale to support 10+ million consumers using our SaaS platform
 Will we be able to make use of newly built assets in many circumstances without
cutting & pasting code
 Can a small (but smart) development team “bang out a bunch” of high quality apps
quickly
 Is it cost effective (including all hidden costs)?
 Does it give us a single throat to choke?
