Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it covered a whole insurer's IT or one area such as applications or architecture. Match that scope and era to your decision, and ask them for one system choice they owned and what they would change about it.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through a core or enterprise system you chose at an insurer. Which alternatives did you rule out, and why?
- 02When a new system had to run alongside a legacy platform, how did you handle integration, data migration and cutover risk?
- 03Which system was hardest to support or replace, and what would you do differently if you made that decision again?
