He highlighted Majesco’s commitment to connect insurers with the products, insights and best practices they need to execute their digital transformation strategies, noting both company’s rich history and the cutting-edge innovation and value they’re bringing to the insurance industry.
“It’s time for Insurance to become as easy, seamless and powerful as any business or personal service we expect. This is why we do what we do,” said Adam. “Majesco is creating the future—agile, nimble, and lightning fast—a future with cloud-based products and solutions that have the power to transform all P&C, Life & Annuities and Group Benefits to meet the demands of tomorrow, right now.”

In his keynote, Manish Shah, President and Chief Product Officer, highlighted the rapidly changing marketplace and the shift in technology to cloud, API, microservices, AI, and the rich ecosystems that are mandatory to compete today and in the future.

Five of the recipients were recognized for both modernization and optimization of their businesses, reflecting the multi-path approach by many insurers to stay competitive.

“Convergence is our premiere customer event, bringing together leaders across the industry to inspire, collaborate and discuss how to shape the future of the industry and their own companies,” commented Denise Garth, SVP Strategic Marketing, Industry Relations and Innovation. “From our research and active leadership in InsurTech, we have consistently advocated that insurers have every reason to continue fostering their loyal customers but need to begin to cultivate new business models for the future because the window of opportunity to retain existing, let alone capture future customers is rapidly closing. Focusing on the customer and the future is a win-win for insurers and the focus of Convergence.”
