The record is the source of truth
Product-line variation is handled inside the system, which removes the reason the parallel spreadsheet existed in the first place.
One policy record, several product lines
iBima holds the whole life of a policy in one place, across product lines that would otherwise each drift into a spreadsheet of their own.
Policy administration fails quietly. Each product line has slightly different rating inputs, endorsement rules and renewal timing, so each one accumulates a workaround. The workaround becomes a spreadsheet that sits beside the system and is more current than the system. At that point the policy record is no longer the source of truth, and every downstream number — renewals due, premium written, exposure by class — has to be assembled by hand.
A policy engine where product-line variation is a modelled difference rather than an exception. The record carries its own history, so an endorsement is a versioned change to a policy rather than an overwrite, and renewal arrives as a stage on the policy’s own timeline rather than a separate list somebody maintains.
What the business can do that it could not before.
Product-line variation is handled inside the system, which removes the reason the parallel spreadsheet existed in the first place.
Every endorsement carries what changed and who changed it, so the state of cover on any past date can be established from the record rather than from correspondence.
Renewal is a state the policy enters, so the book due for renewal is a query rather than a maintained list.
New surfaces read the book that already exists, so widening distribution does not create a second version of it to keep in step.
