Life Insurance Policy Administration System

A life insurance policy administration system is the system of record for life and annuity contracts. It issues policies, applies premiums and withdrawals, credits interest and index returns, processes loans, surrenders, and death claims, and produces the values, statements, and tax reporting each contract needs for decades. BD Emerson consolidates and replaces these systems block by block, converting in-force policies with every value reconciled before cutover.
Many life and annuity carriers run several admin systems at once: one per acquisition, one for each closed block, and a newer platform for current products. Product rules sit in code on systems few people can still change, while actuarial valuation, LDTI reporting under ASU 2018-12, and principle-based reserving under VM-20 and VM-21 all pull data from them. Every added system multiplies the reconciliation work.
Clients come to us with closed blocks on unsupported systems, an acquisition to integrate, an annuity product the current platform cannot administer, or a reinsurance or block transaction that needs a clean data handoff. The work starts with an inventory of blocks, products, and policy counts on each system.
We list every block, product, and policy count by admin system, with the contract dates, staff, and reconciliation work each system carries, and rank the consolidation order by cost and risk.
We configure one of your products on the target platform and run converted policies through a premium, a withdrawal or loan, an anniversary, and a statement, so your team checks the values before you commit.
Each block converts in reconciled waves and runs in parallel until values match policy by policy, then cuts over on a planned date with a tested rollback.
We decommission each admin system after its last block leaves, archive the records your retention schedule requires, and hand your team the platform, the code, and the runbooks.

Bring your block inventory and your product list. In one working session we will map the consolidation order, the conversion risks, and a prototype of one product.

Our insurance team includes people who helped lead a Guidewire implementation practice of thousands of professionals at a Big Four firm. We do not implement or resell any core suite.

Conversion is judged policy by policy on cash value, account value, loan balance, and cost basis. A block cuts over only when every policy matches or has a documented, approved exception.

Agentic servicing runs with an inventory of agents, an authority check before each action, human approval for financial changes, and an audit trail, the controls the NAIC Model Bulletin on AI expects.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.
