Press Release
The new Majesco business unit, a greenfield operation, will offer the solutions through a digital, multi-channel approach
Morristown, NJ – May 7, 2018 Majesco (NYSE American: MJCO), a global provider of core insurance software and consulting services for insurance business transformation, announced the initial release and market availability of Majesco Digital1st Insurance, a ground-breaking digital and microservices based solution set designed to enable the next era of new business models, new products and customer engagement in the digital age, allowing insurers to embrace innovation and growth. The components in the first release include Majesco Digital1st Platform and Majesco Digital1st EcoExchange. The release follows a successful beta period with selected customers and partners. Majesco has formed a new greenfield business unit which will focus on developing and delivering innovative digital solutions as well as the new partner marketplace.
“As we work with our customers, we are observing the shift to digital operating models centered on bringing best of class insurance products and services to their customers. A real digital transformation requires innovation of new insurance products, expansion of non-traditional distribution channels, rise to the generational differences in customer expectations and adoption of new technology to accelerate innovations, reduce costs and scale successful ideas,” commented Manish Shah, Executive Vice President at Majesco. “The microservices platform and the new marketplace of partners offer cutting-edge capabilities designed to rapidly develop and deploy innovative digital solutions in days rather than months or years.”
Majesco Digital1st Insurance supplements the core platform solutions for P&C and L&A and Group, though each of the new solutions can be used and integrated with Majesco’s core systems as well as with other core software to accelerate the value of core software solutions. The new Majesco Digital1st Insurance solutions available include:
- Majesco Digital1st Platform – Industry’s first micro-services platform bundled with pre-built insurance capabilities across P&C and L&A business segments that is designed to enable a new generation of business models and products that require on-demand capabilities, personalized user experience for a new generation of customer and extensive use of new real-time data sources that traditional core systems cannot effectively support. The Majesco Digital1st Platform will be offered as a 100% SaaS offering available with 30-day trial period, low entry costs and no / low commitment. Please visit www.digital1st.io to learn more or to request a free trial.
- Majesco Digital1st EcoExchange – the next generation of partner ecosystem hub using third party services with a standard semantic layer for easy integration and a true “plug and play” environment for traditional and InsurTech partners. A critical part of the Majesco Digital1st EcoExchange is the new marketplace for insurers to access and use InsurTech apps. Majesco partners will be able to list and offer any number of Apps on the EcoExchange that they would like to market, similar to how other marketplaces or app stores operate. The types of EcoExchange apps could be as simple as a non-interactive service call to a comprehensive solution that can orchestrate multiple provider services including interactive conversations. Please visit ecoexchange.digital1st.io to learn more.
“The interest in platforms, microservices and ecosystems is on top of mind of many insurers. In particular, access to innovative solutions and data from traditional and new InsurTech partners is part of every insurer’s strategy, but has been difficult to do. Majesco’s new EcoExchange and marketplace of partners that can be integrated using an open API approach is an innovative approach that will empower every insurer,” commented Karlyn Carnahan, Director in Celent’s North America Property/Casualty Practice.
