Insurance: A Rational solution

As a CIO, vice president of engineering or IT manager, you may need to provide a common framework that identifies and addresses areas for intelligent reuse, transparency, traceability and management of assets.

Improve internal and external communication and collaboration across distributed teams with a portfolio of industry-standard processes.

Track, manage, prioritize and document activities to reduce risk and ensure the quality of outsourcing or off-shoring software development.

Ensure that the deployed product satisfies the end user through the emulation and automation of testing to ensure the successful execution of projects according to a well-defined set of best practices.

Standardize on best practices that can complement reusable assets and leveraging resources to transform maintenance into investment.

Improve operating reliability, and maintain profits and market share by addressing regulatory requirements and corporate governance demands driven by mandates such as ACORD, Sarbanes-Oxley (SoX) and the Patriot Act.

Take a proactive approach to managing governance and compliance to help reduce the impact of external regulations and legislation around privacy, security and operational risk by defining a traceable, well-managed and disciplined process-driven framework.

Keep critical applications current, relevant and competitive by evolving business processes and providing a structured management framework.
