As insurers modernise their technology, acquire businesses, and expand AI initiatives, the quality and accessibility of their data is becoming increasingly important. ReSource Pro is building its Data Services practice to address that challenge, helping insurance businesses migrate, modernise, integrate and improve their data to deliver better insights and create the trusted foundation for its broader Managed AI Services offering. For Gerry Leitão, Head of Data Services at ReSource Pro (pictured), the work starts with understanding the outcome an insurer is trying to achieve rather than leading with a technology decision. The Data Services practice launched this spring, bringing together capabilities from three ReSource Pro acquisitions across the carrier, MGA and retail insurance markets. The combined practice now operates a single data migration factory delivering between 50 and 75 migrations a year. ReSource Pro has completed more than 500 migration and data conversion projects, moving more than 1 billion records. Turning migration into data improvementReSource Pro sees core system migrations and acquisitions as opportunities to address wider data issues.
